- Quarto is more familiar to the kinds of data analysis focused folks who are likely to be teaching this course and they are more likely to be able to modify the site for their own needs and contribute back to the core site if it is in Quarto.
- Each underlying R tutorial will now be an executable qmd file, which will support approaches to teaching this material other than live coding (though we still think live coding is great way to teach these kinds of skills!)
- Quarto provides the potential for actually running all of the R code in the lessons on render to either display output or check that everything is running (though we have set the default to not do this for the time being due to slow build times and complex dependencies).
- Hugo + HugoBlox are great, but they continue to evolve rapidly. This can make maintaining a website that is likely to remain largely untouched 8 months out of each year a hassle
