It's been around for ages (2011), and I still don't think anything else has it beat in terms of 'get developing an app immediately'. It hasn't really got any magic, and yet it mostly just works out-of-the-box without any configuration. Some of the stuff surrounding it is a little out of date (for example, the Sass package is a bit flakey at times, though that can generally be fixed by just blowing away node_modules and `npm i` reinstalling), but it's used as the frontend build system for the Elixir web framework Phoenix, so it's been getting quite a bit of TLC recently. It also only got proper, inbuilt NPM support near the end of last year (though that can occasionally be flakey), which I guess is one of the major reasons it hasn't had a lot of love vs Webpack, or Grunt/Gulp (w/Browserify) prior to that.
