It&#x27;s definitely hyperbole, but the point still stands. Back when I used Gulp, I&#x27;ve run into quite a few situations where a particular package I wanted to use didn&#x27;t support Gulp, but <i>did</i> have CLI support. And even if both were supported, adding a line to package.json was faster and simpler than using the gulp approach.<p>That said, I have nothing against Gulp and it&#x27;s quite possible I might use it in the future. For example, the approach of using npm scripts can be problematic if you need to work on different operating systems. And I&#x27;m sure there are plenty of cases where the complexity is best managed with Gulp or its ilk.
