I think it will improve the UX and lower the barrier of entry. I, as a relatively new user or projen, needed to invest time and effort in order to perform basic Projen configuration and turn on/off options i wanted, i had to read the whole super long API page just to find a couple of options I wanted. I think a little bit of guidance when scaffolding a new project might improve the popularity of this awesome tool.
For now I have hardcoded some options and had to integrate the yargs cli class with the prompt library in a hackish way because yargs lacks native support for it.
A few problems that need to be solved and some input from the community would be appreciated:
