Hey! Core maintainer here. I see a lot of comments are basically saying our project is obsolete or sucks. That does not stop us from working on Grunt though. We are still seeing record download numbers, even with the 2 year old releases. This is why we felt it was important to keep releasing this software and supporting developers. For those who support and use Grunt - huge thank you! Pick up your free open-source co…

Earlier quoted context omitted.
I had reservations about using make for node builds until I got berated by another curmudgeon on here, who kindly showed me all the tricks necessary to implement the rules I needed. I'm very very happy I switched to make. I think part of the issue is that I (and I suspect many others) though I knew basically how make works, except that I had no idea about % patterns, the patsubst function, etc.
Can you share any of those tricks?
I don't see the hype behind build tools. I still use Grunt on just about any project because I can just copy/paste the entire build process from another project and never come back to it again. Don't see much point in switching to anything else.
Honestly there is some utility to using these build systems as they make it a tiny bit easier than just writing a script...but that's about it. It's really easy to write your own scripts to do the same thing with barely any extra code.
brunch.io ftw. its been out there the whole time, way easier than grunt and gulp.

I am so pleased I abandoned grunt/gulp. Life is so much simpler with simple build commands. Now I just run whatever I need using npm run.
For simple things, yes npm run is a better option. But with more and more Tasks i prefer cleaner and better readable solution. Depending on the kind of project and tasks i use grunt / gulp or webpack.
Obsolete before it hit 1.0. While grunt/gulp was fun for a while... i am not looking back to our 800 line grunt file, complicated async configuration and the tons of dev-dependencies. Webpack blew everything out of the water. 80 lines of config, hot-reloading, code-spliting, hash-filenames... Looking forward to whats coming next.
Holy crap! I left a company 6 months ago and we were using Gulp there, and it was, as far as I am aware, the hot thing to use (I'm no front-end dev). Now you're telling me it is obsolete?! Javascript world is silly.
I personally work on things that still need other aspects of the task runners.
