I have experienced both sides. First, I've written my own generator in Python (about 300 lines) but the code was not exactly maintainable and adding features like tagging was hard. So, I looked around and picked up Hugo. While I don't like the template engine it was not too much work, to set it up and offered everything I wanted. But Hugo comes with braking changes all the times! Plus the Hugo developers don't know what semantic versioning is, so you have to figure out whether a new release works with your configuration or not.

Now I'm on the verge to write my own generator again (probably in Kotlin or in Rust), because I'm tired of Hugo's breaking changes and because I still don't like the ugly Go templates.

You don't have to update it either.
