The biggest issue with Hugo for me was trying to create a custom theme (in order to get a stripped-down site without a bunch of BS), everything breaks if you don't arrange all the files exactly the way required by Hugo themes.
Once I got that, and learned some Go templating in the process, it's just markdown files, fire and forget.
