I was having an issue with `zola serve` where the browser was not fetching fonts on account of it not sending a CORS header with the fonts |

explanations
Hugo gets for the template engine because while it is probably the most powerful template engine in the list (after Jinja2) it personally drives me insane, to the point of writing my own template engine and static site generator. Yes, this is a bit biased.
Zola gets for multi-language support as it only has a basic support and does not (yet) offer things like i18n in templates.
Pelican notes
Many features of Pelican come from plugins, which might be tricky to use because of a version mismatch or inadequate documentation. Netlify supports Python and Pipenv but you still need to install your dependencies manually.
