This is probably irrational, but it's always annoyed me that Yeoman is little more than a package.json file and small bash script yet has a professionally designed logo.

Having a professional logo gives it a more polished first contact. For a tool that makes disparate bits easier to use it's part of the contract. Who cares how it's made when it brings convenience to the table?

This isn't at all constructive and you're severely misinformed. This is Yeoman: https://github.com/yeoman/ https://github.com/yeoman/

  Of course it isn't constructive. I'm just bitter that I've debated spending $500+ of my personal money for logos of my open source projects that do something genuinely original so that I can perhaps get above 100 stars on GitHub, while a scaffolding script (probably) got one for free and appears on the front page of Hacker News weekly. So yes, not constructive at all; this is plain old jealously.

The yeoman project encompasses a lot more. It's original design was very monolithic but the community and core team decided it's better broken into modules, so you primarily use much of yeoman through grunt, but much of that workflow is authored by the Yeoman dev team. There's yo (that scaffolds via generators), 10 officially supported generators that work with common webapps setups (e.g. angular backbone ember chrome-extension mocha karma), and (so far) 74 generators in the community building off this platform: https://npmjs.org/browse/depended/yeoman-generator https://npmjs.org/browse/depended/yeoman-generator Then other supplementary modules: grunt-contrib-compass, grunt-contrib-imagemin, grunt-contrib-htmlmin, grunt-contrib-livereload, grunt-regarde, grunt-svgmin, grunt-contrib-connect, grunt-bower-requirejs, grunt-usemin, node adapters for optipng and jpegtran, configstore. This grunt infrastructure designed and maintained by the project. In addition, the Yeoman also collaborates very heavily with the Bower and Grunt projects, both of which are accellerating very fast. There is considerable overlap in the core dev teams here, everyone working together amongst this disparate but congealing webapp developing tooling ecosystem.
