ing around with Yeoman this weekend. The real strength I think is in
the library of generators and the tools that the generator has in addition to
the grunt derived ones.

The default generator is a one page webapp and that makes everybody think that
that is what yeoman is, but there are many more:

I am already using gruntjs for js/sass/images compression & combining,
template compilation, and a whole lot of other build related stuff. Can
somebody please convince me why I would want to switch to yeomen?

You are not switching to Yeoman if you use grunt, since yeoman uses grunt for
all the tasks you mentioned. Yeoman is for quickly setting up and adding
common parts to your app. For example, in angular you can create controllers,
directives etc. skeletons, based on predefined or your own scaffolds. Using it
will only be good if the generator for your app is good.

Hmm, this is the first "I Hit The HN Front Page" humblebrag posts that's not a
humblebrag, and as a result is interesting.

Being successful is not a binary get-on-front-page or not; ranking on the
front page matters. At #27 of 30, that is effectively off the front page. (for
