Decouple from Grunt

[addyosmani]

We're at the point where a number of our most popular generators do not use Grunt. With this in mind, I think we should consider dropping or refactoring the messaging on our homepage to make it clear yo can be used to scaffold out a setup with any tooling choices.

Depending on how far we wanted to take it we could illustrate this point with examples.

E.g:
Yo works great with Grunt. Check out generator-webapp.
Yo also works great with Gulp. Checkout generator-gulp-webapp.
It even works well with X, Y and Z which have nothing to do with either of these options.

If we decide to do this properly, we would also need to refactor the learning section of the site. Thoughts?

👍 on all of that. Let me do some PRs soon.

Opened #417.

Other things that need to happen IMHO:

• Do we still want to have a big grunt logo on the front page?
• This description of yo seems coupled to grunt.
• Include some resources regarding gulp (and others) in the learning/resources.html page.
• The contributing guidelines have some stuff specific to Gruntfiles.
• media
• others(?)

For the rest I think we're quite fine, for the site at least. Will see if I have the time for some other PRs.

Do we still want to have a big grunt logo on the front page?

Imo, if we want to be visual we could call out 1-3 build systems commonly used with Yo. Gulp and Grunt could be two, but we'd need to make sure we're citing them as examples rather than being all we support.

This description of yo seems coupled to grunt.

Agreed! We should make it more generic.

Include some resources regarding gulp (and others) in the learning/resources.html page.

The contributing guidelines have some stuff specific to Gruntfiles.
others(?)

We can similarly make this more generic I think.

Some of our media is also pretty tied to Grunt.

[SBoudrias]

@arthurvr are you still up with taking ownership of this issue?

If we need new medias, I can probably ask a designer somewhere for some help. Let me know what are your needs!

[arthurvr]

@SBoudrias Yeah, though somebody that can take care of the media and the homepage design would be welcome :)

Include some resources regarding gulp (and others) in the learning/resources.html page.

Anybody any suggestions what resources are really good?

The gulp site, and their repo contains a bunch of interesting information.

Not sure if this is the right place to follow up, but will the site reflect that Yeoman uses Gulp over Grunt? I noticed that the getting started generator is now on Gulr, even though the front page if this site states Grunt is an option.

[SBoudrias]

No. We're build tool agnostic.

[amboy00]

I understand that. However in the Getting Started section, the generator-webapp example no longer supports Grunt at all. While it isn't misleading, technically, it does seem confusing.
