So this is a repo that is being cloned on your computer [1]. I have a couple of questions :

1. Why not just creating yeoman generator?

2. Don't you think it is too opinionated and inflexible to be useful?

I much rather clone than use yeoman. What is the benefit?
Well yeoman can be configured to ask you questions about the setup you want. Think "less or sass?"
Why would something that is opinionated and inflexible not be useful? See Rails.
NIH Syndrom?
