I used to run my personal website on Hugo but after a few years I wanted to upgrade the Hugo version and was suddenly out in the cold - there was no real path to upgrade, everything only works together once and as soon as I started upgrading, there was mismatch between the generator, the theme, and whatever widgets I used.

Moved to wordpress.com since that. No more worry about keeping things working, I can focus on the content. Admittedly, the horrible load times of wordpress.com sites are causing me to look at alternatives - waiting 5 seconds for the homepage to show up is not really acceptable.

I wish someone made a hosted version of a static site generator - they maintain the compatibility between individual components, provide some online editor for content, but the output is just a bunch of static files generated from this. Have not found one so far but if you know one, please drop a line!
