Configuring Grunt to do this every time you want to ship a web app seems like a path to insanity to me. Also, NGINX doesn't by default give you clean urls and 404 fallbacks. Web frameworks do this for you and IMHO It's time static servers do as well. Regenerating all the assets every time there is a change just feels sloppy to me. Also, I think it is asking a lot from novice developers to setup these configuration files and the knowledge one needs to have to do it effectively is a needless burden on someone who specializes on front-end development. No disrespect to NGINX. Its too busy powering the internet to be concerned with these problems :)
