Honestly, I'm shocked there was no mention of DocPad, as it streamlines the entire workflow/development-stack; covering boilerplate, authoring abstractions, iteration workflow, tuning, building & optimisation, and soon deploy as well. Allowing you to just focus on the actual problem you've set out to solve.

A few other tools:

• github-keygen
• LiquidPrompt
