Move to using npm (fully) over Bower?

[z11h]

Hey Guys!

I was just wondering is there was a specific reason why Butter uses both npm and Bower. I was wondering if the core team is willing to move to using npm fully over Bower. If so, i'll submit a PR!

Thanks :)

There's no reason per say, but bower theorically gives us more control on what we install through bower, allowing us to only keep, for example, the .min.js files to import in our index.html, instead of having a full-blown npm module with submodules and such. Think of bower as 'pretty much' a way for us to make the same requirements in Butter as if it were a website requiring jQuery, or Bootstrap

i feel that would be better suited as a build process task, anyway, moving forward we're going to require less and less things from bower, less and less things from index.html and this should get easier.
