I honestly thought it was a bit confusing too in the beginning, especially because the bower dependencies are placed into the parent directory. That did trip me up in the beginning, consider coming from an Angular generator where the folder you run the generator in is your app. I ended up blogging about it too http://blog.stefanritter.com/post/91627263720/starting-a-polymer-project ;)
The way it's setup now you cannot use the generator to build an app as proposed here: http://www.polymer-project.org/docs/start/creatingelements.html Instead it assumes each component sits in is's own repo, right? Have you guys considered adding a third build option next to :app and :gh that would work for building an app structure with a separate components/ bower_components/ folder? It could come with vulcanize out of the box too, and build the custom elements for a components/ folder based on the seed-element but with dependencies placed in bower_components/ - I guess it would be like yo element:repo on steroids?
