All of the about pages 404. What the hell is it?

It's a series of tools codifying an opinionated position on web dev workflows. There's a decent description on their homepage at http://yeoman.io/

No information about what it is or what it's for. Very clever, that.

Hey, have't you read the tutorial on how to make a website for an open source project?

Yeoman is:

A web app workflow management tool. Package manager for javascript libraries, compiler for css / js, optimizer for html, development webserver, sekeleton generator. It basically is another level of process abstraction after bootstrap + downloading & installing jquery plugins & compiling the project with yuicompressor.

I've never used it yet, whenever I embark on a new simple html website, I forgot yeoman exists, and later on I'm sad that I again didn't use it. I'll keep the tab open now :)

Lightning-fast scaffolding — Easily scaffold new projects with customizable templates (e.g HTML5 Boilerplate, Twitter Bootstrap), RequireJS and more.

Great build process — Not only do you get minification and concatenation; I also optimize all your image files, HTML, compile your CoffeeScript and Compass files, if you're using AMD, I will pass those modules through r.js so you don't have to.

Automatically compile CoffeeScript & Compass — Our LiveReload watch process automatically compiles source files and refreshes your browser whenever a change is made so you don't have to.

Automatically lint your scripts — All your scripts are automatically run against JSHint to ensure they're following language best-practices.

Built-in preview server — No more having to fire up your own HTTP Server. My built-in one can be fired with just one command.

Awesome Image Optimization — I optimize all your images using OptiPNG and JPEGTran so your users can spend less time downloading assets and more time using your app.

Killer package management — Need a dependency? It's just a keystroke away. I allow you to easily search for new packages via the command-line (e.g. `bower search jquery`), install them and keep them updated without needing to open your browser.

PhantomJS Unit Testing — Easily run your unit tests in headless WebKit via PhantomJS. When you create a new application, I also include some test scaffolding for your app.

Yeoman is awesome. Use it once, you'll never forget to again.

Has image spriting gone out of style? That's one of the most fiddly bits, but I don't see it on your list.

That's a feature of Compass: http://compass-style.org/help/tutorials/spriting/

I'm using Yeoman to develop one of my web applications, which is a Single Page Application on a MEAN stack. My client side application is just HTML5 & AngularJS which uses a node.js/express powered REST API. The Yeoman workflow, along with the Angular Generator, is a great fit for this type of development.

Does WebStorm IDE offer any added value over yeoman/bower/grunt? Or better just to stick to editor like Sublime?

So, if one use WebStorm with yeoman-based workflow, he basically use IDE as editor?

What confuses me, that many good FEDs I met, use WebStorm.
