I started using it about two weeks ago and was pretty disappointed, too. The 1.0 beta was broken for things like coffeescript, backbone, custom generators, etc, and they pulled the previous version of Yeoman from the site. I got it to work for what I was trying to do, but spent twice as much time on Yeoman as I did working on my app. Not unexpected given the pre 1.0 state of both Yeoman and the Node community at large, but I wish they'd left the previous (functional) version accessible. Either way, excited to see this kind of community development. Great work on Yeoman, excited about its potential.
