I just started to use hugo again and I feel like it is the better option when it comes to publishing for the web on my own. It's part of many repositories, feels fast and has all the batteries included one could ask for. It is suckless in many ways.
To be honest, I don't want to mess with anything complicated when I'm working on my very own projects. There is usually no need for a backend and the very few editors should be able to come up with a few lines of copypasta html anyway. As a long term solution, as someone who doesn't work on his sites all the time, this is the way to go for me. And I don't have to care about any updates whatsoever.
