I was just having that discussion this morning. Early in my re-entry to web I was using grunt to manage the build processes, but that fell away fast— I'll either write a Makefile or a shell script to manage those builds and processes now—and I'm far more productive for it. No need for a number of plugins and yet more dependencies to manage. Though, I have to say I've seen less and less of Grunt and Gulp (etc) in modern JavaScript (especially TypeScript)
