[mildtrepidation]

Essentially, it creates a barebone project with a list of pre-defined folders/files. For me, this is not very useful as I actually prefer to create my own.

Unless this command is vastly more opinionated (and less bare-bones) than Django's startapp/startproject, and with only what you've written to go on, I get the impression that what you're doing here is killing part of the benefit a framework gives you: The ability for others with framework experience to (relatively) quickly pick up your projects and work on them.

I've worked on several projects that did similar things in addition to many that more strictly followed their framework's conventions, and choice of framework aside, when you're using something lightweight already but ignoring its conventions, you might as well be rolling your own.

If that's not something that's important to you when choosing a framework, for whatever reason, then I can see this being OK (if not useful). But I don't think it's a good habit to get into if you are likely to pass off your work to others or need to bring in outside help in the future.
