Incorrect. Gulp and grunt can track dependencies the same way you do anything else with it...just add the right plugin. Saying that gulp/grunt aren't real build systems because of one feature that you actually missed anyway is like saying that Javascript isn't a real programming language because it doesn't compile to assembly. Practically nobody uses Make for JS outside of a few misguided folks. There are good reasons for that. One of them is that Make's craptic language is useless outside of that one single task. Another one is that Make sucks at cross-platform. It forces you to use OS tools that don't exist on every OS. Meanwhile, Node.js tools work everywhere.
