I happened upon a good video here "Web AppBuilder for ArcGIS Advanced Development Tools and Techniques - YouTube " and managed to get Yeoman and grunt working to streamline my development workflow. One issue I find is that my custom widget config.json winds up in two places under server/apps/n. It is in the server/apps/n/widgets/x (with a name like config.json) and it is at server/apps/n/configs/x (with the name like config_widgets_x_Widget_n.js).
The trouble is that grunt copies from my repo only to server/apps/n/widgets/x. So multiple copies of the custom widget config get out of sync. Referencing the config in javascript don't work while referencing in html by ${} will.
