I am currently using Brunch[1] as a build system.

How does Yeoman compare, and why should I switch?

I asked this in a previous submission on Grunt, in a thread that talked about Yeoman, but I never got an answer.

EDIT: It looks like the new FAQ addresses this issue: http://yeoman.io/faq.html > "How does Yeoman differ from tools like Brunch or BBB?" and "How does Yeoman differ from Grunt?". Post left up for other users who are wondering how this compares to Grunt or Brunch.

However, the answer seems a little... underwhelming. Apparently it's "we've made making your own scaffolds easier". Are there any other, unmentioned benefits?

EDIT2: Partial updates as I discover this myself (hope that's okay): one huge advantage is how it uses Bower beneath the surface. No more manual AngularJS/JQuery/other dep upgrading!!




Yeoman and Brunch have many differences. You can read the small essay on them here:

Bower support is coming to brunch in the next release.
