Seems a pretty straightforward way to organize things, but can we please stop with the unreadable hipster designs. White text on a light green/blue background is almost impossible for my 40 year old eyes to read. Good design is about helping your users achieve their goals with the least friction possible.
For me using a 5.5" phone, text that should be easily legible with a different colour choice is completely unreadable.
I don't know... In his presentation Brad Frost makes fun of websites that look like different iteration of the same design. With the Atomic Design approach he delivers... websites that are completely in line with current aesthetic trends.
Useful approach. There's still a missing link for a perfect workflow: being able to export the CSS properties generated this way into a pre/postprocessor framework (bootstrap, zurb etc) instead of overriding the resulting CSS.

A note to the author, and a wish: please stop abusing the term unicorn just for the sake of having catchy trendy titles, unless there is a meaning in "the unicorn workflow" I'm not aware of.

The unicorn had a meaning similar to "rare/holy grail" long before it started being used for startups.
I've been saying this for a while now; if you're using 'unicorn' as an adjective, please stop.
