Comment on Building a blog from scratch in 2022 using Hugo, Docker and a bit of Pythonparent

I went a similar route from WordPress to jekyll. Then to Kirby v2. I dabbled with grav CMS and now am back to Kirby v3.

I can chsmge stuff in the terminal with vim or via VSCode remotely over ssh. But I can just as easily login to the admin panel and do stuff there.

What I like about Kirby for client work is that I can adapt the admin panel so easily that I can adapt it to my clients' needs and workflows.

And there is no DB in the background I need to maintain.

So I feel it always depends on use case and personal preferences in the end.

$114/site though?

If I save on time with development (as I do) I come out net positive. And why shouldn't I pay for a great tool?

As said it is a question of what to value more. My time. Working with a great tool (imho) or saving a few bucks.

But everybody's mileage will inevitably vary.

Ok well said I buy your argument (so to speak:) )
