It's no longer necessary with tools like create-react-app and next-js. Gulp used to make sense before Webpack and React. You needed to process files, build your project, and have a functioning web server (BrowserSync) that refreshes the browser when you make changes. The reality is that nextjs and create-react-app are way superior, have TypeScript and Webpack configurations out of the box, and they have their own build process. No reason to use Gulp anymore.
