The most important thing to me when building a blog or info type site is how hard it will be to maintain or change in a year or more.
I have one site running on Wagtail (Django) for the past 3 or 4 years, and two other sites currently built with Hugo (LotsOfOpps[0] and BuiltRigs[1]). I've put together lots of other sites with Hugo, Wordpress, and other Django CMSes.
The Wagtail site is definitely overengineered, and I usually dread making updates to the code a few years on.
I've messed around with other generators like 11ty[2] and Gridsome[3] (both pretty cool projects!), but I mostly keep coming back to Hugo. It's pretty simple, and so far I haven't had to worry about a 3rd-party package breaking stuff.
