As a full stack JavaScript developer, the tools I used over 6 months ago are also the tools I use today. Only difference is I left Angular for React. But my build tools are still the same. I use Gulp, SASS and Webpack.
You're talking out of your ass if you actually believe something can get to the popularity of Gulp or Webpack and then instantly be "old news" and "not worth using" within 6 months.
- metamet 10y agoI'm with you, but there's a strong point with Grunt vs Gulp. Gulp is the new standard, and it usurped Grunt only how many months ago?
- joshmanders 10y agoGrunt just released v1.0 and is still a great alternative. People fail to realize just because another way to do something comes out, doesn't mean all of the sudden the previous way is no longer a viable solution.
- abritinthebay 10y agoLike... a year ago was the tipping point.
- spinlock 10y agoThe problem is working with fanboys who refuse to use the tools that you've spend a year or two investing in. When the people you work with throw away your projects every couple of months, there's nothing you can do to keep using what works.
