Before we go down the road of saying no to Markdown based infrastructure, I
did some searching around and it seems there is a plugin for Netlify that
swaps out their editor for a different one that supports quite a bit more.
See https://ui.toast.com/tui-editor for a demo of that editor.

Does that resolve your concerns with functionality?

The main reason I believe Phu and Carl would like to see Hugo used is
because it is easier to just maintain one theme - and not a variety of
themes.
This has bitten us severely in the past, so I can definitely appreciate
their sentiment here.

The other sites using Wordpress are usually devoted to specific
applications - so it is easier for them to depart from our "common
identity" rather than our core sites (like www.kde.org, dot.kde.org - which
should have a common identity)

I understand that work was done previously to migrate the Dot to Hugo as
well, so it would be easier to reuse that work too.
