Sliced bread has nothing on the offline-capable SharePoint Workbench. You don't need to stand up a dev/test environment or a playground online tenant.

Most Front-End developers have been doing Front-End development since JavaScript was called LiveScript.
They have been doing REST for years.
They are on the Angular band-wagon but keep a sharp eye on what Rob is doing with Aurelia.
Don't expect this "FrameWork" or "Workbench" to be a revolution.
It is a bunch of connectors to connect Front-End with SharePoint 2016 stuff. (And oh yes, CSR, JSLink are gone)
And most Fronteers will probably think it is just another Tell-Sell tool

FYI, I had to manually run
npm install --save es6-promise
before the sample would work. Might just be my machine though.
Also, are the project files supposed to be so big. The hello world sample seems to download 97,000 files?

This is a very exciting move. I have downloaded tool need to start working with this framework.
But the problem i am facing now is when i browse to workbench.aspx from my tenant it gives me following error
"The Requested operation is part of an experiment feature that is not supported in the current environment"

Hi Kunal
This is becuase you are not using a SharePoint Online Development Tenancy (Not Site Collection).
You need to sign up for a development tenancy.

I'm liking what I've seen so far but I'm guessing that since it runs entirely on the client side within the SharePoint context we are restricted to using Office 365 assets?
If external data access to SQL is needed would the provider hosted SharePoint Add-In be the recommended approach going forward?

I can imagine the authentication side of that getting complicated but I'll see what I can find. Now I've seen the new framework I don't want to go back to using iframes!
