Jumpsuit – A minimal React and Redux framework

github.com

This really won't teach you either react or redux.

React and redux have been abstracted away to the point that they no longer really serve a purpose... You may as well have used preact, or another toolkit that uses JSX templating.

By abstracting it all away, you loose all the flexibility that higher level components and redux plugins bring to the table.

I understand the motivation for reducing react/redux boilerplate, but what does the CLI achieve that isn't already provided by existing tools?

Well, for starters, it gets you up and going with a new project in like 60 seconds, as opposed to hooking everything up yourself (package.json, scripts, dependencies). The cli can also do awesome development watching and great production builds with about 10% of the config that webpack does. It's optional, but man, it kicks butt and gets the job done! :)
