What do you dislike about Hugo?

It can sometimes be difficult to find good documentation and examples on some features and the templating language can appear confusing at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are using it to build static websites for marketing and developer documentation and find it an excellent tool for this task. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
