I'm glad to see more projects like cropping up because there complexity of the types of plugins that we build varies greatly.

Sure, some are simple and aren't going to require as much overhead; others are more like small-ish applications running within the context of WordPress itself. Bringing a bit of order to the potential chaos is a good move.

If you don't dig it, don't use it, but if you're working on something large-ish, then maybe this fits the bill.

Props to the team.
