This is the best seed app of the bunch, but still fell down in a few places when I tried it out...

Remember when starting a new web project meant opening a notepad and writing some HTML? Yeah, well I spent 4 hours diving into this boilerplate project yesterday and still haven't gotten it right for Angular development and deployment.

Oh, I know.

Try to start a project with angular, coffeescript, and requirejs. On top, have the audacity to not want to use array syntax but have ngmin deal with that.

You're in for a world of pain. 4 hours did you say? I've been working on this (in free time, granted) for about a month. It took me a while to believe this isn't solved already. Apparently the angular-seed world and surrounding tooling stil has way to go.
