The thing I like about Gulp is that all it needs is NPM to install all its stuff. Make you have to worry about different system libraries, etc. Also, with gulp I can leverage other node based libraries, so for one project, I can get frontend guys set up using a dev server which automatically both proxies API requests to a backend server, and also watches and livereloads files (as they like), with three damn commands - npm install && bower install && gulp dev. Bam. Working dev server running on port 8000 that does all that they need it to.
