Wow, this was never posted?
Yeoman's been my principle go-to for starting projects for a while now. They have a lot in the MEAN stack and React realms, which I'm using, so it saves me a lot of grunt work. (And, ironically, a lot of Grunt work.)
Learning about Yeoman was mind blowing. Helped our company immensely to mostly worry about building the fun stuff without worrying too much about setup.
