Here's an example - When I set up a new rails app there is a variety of stuff that I go and change immediately. Part of this has to do with the fact that I use jruby exclusively. I have a hand full of my own initializers I add to almost every rails app. Change some default config options. Delete some of the default tests that they give you. Delete some default fixtures.

A similar story could be applied to any of the technologies that Yeoman attempts to wrangle.

Yes I am quite aware that I could write my own generator to do all this for me. That is not the point.

I agree that what Yeoman aims to do could be useful for some. I am just pointing out that most people I work with have outgrown boilerplate solutions, as have I. I think many people will have a similar experience.
