Advertising the de-facto leading static blog generator (assuming that Jekyll is only second today which I don't know for sure) will automatically attract more people to it and does not make much sense in my opinion, for the same reason why advertising for Coca-Cola does not: probably everyone interested in such things already knows that.
What I mean is that it could be more of a gain for everyone to spend more time with the other alternatives. Most of them have most of Hugo's advantages, minus the large community. All of us can change that any day. :-)
Well, the staticsitegenerators list linked above is a good starting point. Greatness is highly subjective though, as everyone has different needs. I even have a bashblog in one of my projects because I needed something really simple.
I already heard about Pelican and Grav, and they are pretty popular, according to the number of stars. They were brought to my attention by the Lobster community, but I haven't had time to explore it yet. I never heard of Coleslaw.
If you use the popular tool you won't use the others which means the popular tool will become more popular and attract more people, which in turns it makes it become more popular and so on :D
Could you explain this?

Okay, I understand your point of view.
Could you provide some useful links to frameworks you mentioned? Or could you write what is so great about it?

I am already familiar with Jekyll, Hexo, and Middleman, and I even wrote an overview about them:

Thank you for bringing the attention to other frameworks, too.
You should try it. I wrote two plugins for it. :-)
edit: Yup, we talked about Pelican there.

I see. Thank you for the clarification.
Hugo is popular, you are right. But it is also great, in my opinion.
Maybe it is popular because it is great. :D
Or because nobody looks out for probably even better alternatives. Good enough is the worst enemy of good.
Sure, that's the best combination :D
Right? 🤐
