We've gotten several comments about that "beginner-friendly" quip! Installing Hugo is indeed much easier than Jekyll, but I personally find Jekyll's barrier to entry a bit lower. This owes mostly to the built-in Sass processing, the Liquid templating language, and the absence of a required file structure (this last point can be a detriment at times, but the parity between source files and rendered files is more intuitive.)

This is clearly a matter of opinion; personally, I find Go's templating syntax to be a bit more esoteric at first. This will likely depend on prior experience, as it does in your case. I have grown to love Go templates, and Hugo is my go-to for new projects.

Thanks for reading and for your feedback! I will amend the supported markup languages list.
