I can relate to this. I blog sporadically, using different computers, and every time I had to pull the repo and get it to run, several things would break, resulting in a very painful dependency management process (I must admit that I lacked experience with ruby projects in general).
After porting my blog to Hugo, having a single binary that can perform all tasks on all three operating systems I use (MacOS, Windows, and Linux) is a blessing, and now the blog builds incredibly quick.
