Excise bower from the generator
Getting the sense that it not terribly helpful and certainly more trouble than it's worth.
Global dependencies can be a barrier to adoption. But presently bower does pull in RequireJS (when that option is chosen) and that is pretty important in fleshing out an app from the sample app. Also, in the future, if we want to add other client libraries to the options of generator, bower is nice to have around. Or something to take its place, whatever that would be.
RequireJS can be imported via npm.
RequireJS is now being imported via npm and copy-browser-modules when users select the following:
? Front end package manager ? No
? JavaScript library? RequireJS
Do you all think this is sufficient to go ahead and now remove bower completely? @aredridel @jasisk @totherik
