Why I migrated from Hugo to Jekyll

I moved to Jekyll because it allows for explicitly naming one layout to be extended. Using Hugo I felt like having to fight with the lookup order. This is the primary reason.

Plugin support
Less strict separation between layout and content
No org-mode support
Longer build times
