I've used Yeoman in a few projects, but realistically I've only seen it used to bootstrap a project, and I happen to do longer running projects so there's not much bootstrapping. A second use case of Yeoman is generating components, and we do have a set of templates to do that in our project, but honestly I'm old-fashioned and inefficient and just copy / paste an existing component instead of try and figure out how Yeoman works again and iterating on the templates. Might be different if we added new components more often.

I use Yeoman for scaffolding npm modules. It works fine. My friend made one for microservices (using Zeit's micro project) and it's also pretty good.

Really, Yeoman just automates setting up an node module/project and installing the stuff I always use (linter and test runner).

I wouldn't want to use Yeoman for a large frontend project though.

Agree with the room for improvement!

I'll update the spelling. Yeoman could be better in a different state position. Thanks.
