It looks promising :)

Would be good to get some unit tests written for the "seed" app itself.

Asset versioning is one of the big pain points at the moment when setting up an application eg /js/main.min.v2.js. Will you be looking at addressing this in your seed app?

I generally use Symfony2 for my applications but it can take quite a while to configure/setup at the start of each project. There are a number of skeleton projects I've used in the past which have included a lot of the fruit I'd need in a new app, reducing startup time.

If the PHP community adopted your "web-seed" and started asking for other components to be baked in, such as Grunt, Assetic, authentication/authorisation, do you think your web-seed could stay lean compared to Zend, Symfony etc?

Do you see this app optionally supporting Sass instead of Less, or Handlebars instead of Mustache?

I think the problem is with the tools availables out there, is there a sass or handlebars compiler for PHP?
