I'm always amazed at what people go through to use gulp/grunt/etc instead of make.

- joshstrange 12y agosigh I'm really not sure how to reply to you, I want to say don't feed the trolls but.... make does not suit our needs and so we don't use it. Period. Also good luck getting source maps + babel + bower + etc to work under make, I honestly don't believe it's possible or if it is it would be so convoluted that it would be impossible to extend or understand. Gulp may not be a perfect tool (I don't believe such a tool exists) but it's leaps and bounds above make and a better choice than grunt IMHO.
- drinchev 12y agoMakefiles are great. But if you follow the principle "using the right tool for the right job", you'll most certainly in the end choose the building system of your infrastructure. It would be the same if you suggest Java codebase to switch from maven to make. Yes ... it would be far difficult to do that.
