Could you please consider supporting angular-cli as tooling for the frontend?

I tried the angular 2.x template and tried to add SASS and bootstraps support. But it gets complicated very quickly. Then I saw the angular 4.x template and saw it was even more complicated. I'd much rather use a tool like angular-cli. It has everything I need and was a lot easier to understand. If I want to switch to webpack I can always ng eject.

To me the template as it is, creates too much dependency between the frontend and the backend. There's also a lot of duplication of functionality. Angular CLI does AOT and HMR just fine and you only have to set a boolean to true.

Right now I'm calling ng build to build stuff to wwwroot/dist which works well. Except I don't get the advantage of reload or HMR. Still looking into that to get it to work.

One solution is to just start 2 services. The ASP.NET server and ng serve and then proxy one or the other. But I would rather let ASP.NET start the server or serve the files.
