There are many tools out there, but have you thought about writing one yourself?

Well, I wrote a major part of JHipster :)

Haha, so you did. Sorry, I thought you were trying to push another third-party tool.

So a question with regards to it. Did it start out as an internal tool that was used to create things, that then evolved into something that was decided to go public, or was the aim of this always to be released to the masses?

I'd say the majority of readers don't think the creation of such things is a good idea. Reinventing the wheel etc. What are your views?

It started out as a fun side project by my friend and JHipster founder Julien Dubois which ended up becoming the development platform it is today.
