I&#x27;m with you. In fact my last project I simply wrote my own build script by including the dependencies that normally would have been wrapped with grunt &#x2F; gulp and used them directly. So much easier and far fewer development dependencies.<p>Grunt and Gulp make building slightly easier. Slightly. That&#x27;s really it honestly. In fact my build scripts look very, very similar to what a Gruntfile.js file looks like.
