The main purpose of Yeoman is to generate files that could essentially become a boilerplate, almost like a boilerplate generator. It doesn't actually do any work for building or testing the project, rather it could potentially put the dependencies in place to do that for you.

Neutrino, on the other hand, consolidates those dependencies and configuration for you into presets. It is the power of the build tool + the preset that makes building the project simple. Had you just used Yeoman to generate the dependencies and configuration, you would still be on your own to continue to manage all the individual dependencies and configuration, while with Neutrino you can simply override what you need and still have the preset manage its own dependencies.
