I found Jekyll some time ago and was done.

I started with Jekyll, and tried out Hugo since there was all the hype.

I didn't had the same issues as OP, but Hugo docs are so confusing that I just gave up and switched back. Jekyll works OK for my simple needs, and still does.

For those interested, there was also a partial-Jekyll-Golang-port, https://github.com/osteele/gojekyll

I've stopped using it for the same reasons outlined in the blog post.
