I made a static site with Hexo a few years back. I thankfully didn't make any "Get started with Hexo" posts but I did only really use it for a few months. I think that puts me in the cluster with the "switch from Jekyll to Hugo" people. Now it just sits there, absorbing some money every two years for the "personal website tax".
Shame too, I constantly think I need to get back to it. Hexo is nice, popular with Chinese users I think. I don't recall now why I liked it over Jekyll or Hugo, but I've always loved an underdog. Once I got the hang of using it, it was very customizable and fun to work with.
I think the "Moved from Jekyll to Hugo" dot has an implicit catchment area around it, which includes people who don't technically fit that description, but they're close. I've used neither Jekyll nor Hugo, but the fact I understood that archetype meant I felt pulled in by the gravity of that point.
