Very useful. This will be required reading for all our students :)

I created a react/grunt/browserify/babelify (+bootstrap) starter repo to clone from github for them but think it's still confusing. This provides much needed background information in one bundled place (even though the stack is slightly different and only mentions grunt).

That repo sounds like a good candidate for replacement with a Yeoman generator!

Yep pretty much a planned project but for now I'm keeping everything as sort of a learning exercise. master is ES5 and I have an es6 branch. The idea is to have students look at the ES5 version first to appreciate the ES6 changes. [actually a basic git primer is the first step :D]

The more practical solution would indeed be yeoman (imo)
