I've been watching/waiting for Yeoman for quite a while now. I can't help but wonder how much Twitter's Bower pushed you towards launching today. This looks to fit a lot more of the workflow than just package management though and does a lot of the things I'm currently doing myself through a huge mashup of other tools.

EDIT – totally missed that this in fact uses Bower for the package managment, so probably couldn't even launch until that was released.

Yeoman uses Bower for package management

There hasn't even been a 1.0 release yet. You mean 0.2.2

it is huge for developing/maintaining a gem since you can run your tests easily across all sorts of ruby versions and gemsets

The concept reminds me of another site I ran across recently: http://endor.se/

Thanks Clay... now they have some NICE call to actions.

Indeed. I was expecting something a little more technical, maybe about tools like Three20 and the like until I noticed it was on wsj.
