It looks like Hugo also has native .org file support. Does ox-hugo provide functionality over Hugo’s native org file parsing?

Didn't know that Hugo supports org files. But just one example of added functionality is being able to use one big file with a subtree for each post.
I started using Hugo's built-in org support, but I found it quite limiting. I can't remember the specifics, but it doesn't support everything you can do with Markdown. So I quickly switched to ox-hugo. They can co-exist though so you can try the native support then switch if you run into the same shortcomings as I did.
I used Hugo's native `.org` file support for a while. It was… fine. There are some serious issues (for me) that I had with it though. The most salient one is that it didn't convert straight quotes in the source ("") to proper curly-quotes. (“”) I don't remember what else but I'm sure there was more than just that. I've spent a lot of time on the typography of my site and I wanted everything to be as perfect as I could make it.
