#2I've been using Gulp for a couple of months now, it's great! It's like Grunt, but faster, and the tasks are written in code, not a giant JSON config file.

The grunt config is javascript, not json. So you can write custom tasks code in your grunt config.
For instance, I wrote a custom tag to modify specific pages to inject javascript include statements in HTML pages. There is probably a plugin for that, but I was able to write the code in 15 minutes so I didn't care.

#6I recently switched to using gulp and webpack (to build react.js) after having used grunt for many years and I would encourage anyone still using grunt to make the switch. All that pain and suffering to get your grunt build to work will not be a problem. Setting up gulp is painless. It just worked. My setup is less, jshint, wepback with react.js and bootstrap.
I encourage people to use webpack for any kind of js building unless you're using browserfy, but you can use browserfy with straight up gulp. You could also replace browserfy with webpack. Webpack will build your require.js (and your commonjs) without need for almond.js if you're making single builds. Setting up require.js with grunt was a nightmare, and a cinch with gulp + webpack. Like it took me an entire day in the past with grunt, and like 5 minutes with gulp and webpack.

Same here, have been using it for personal projects for a couple of months and it outperforms grunt by a long shot.

I agree! Also using it since a few months and couldn't go back to Grunt!

#9I've switched most of my projects to Gulp from Grunt as I prefer code over config. One thing that I wish Gulp did out of the box though would be not to terminate on errors but rather beep without having to write .on('error', ...) handlers.

#10Gulp is fantastic. for me coming from ant as a build process it made much more sense to make that transition of code vs config like grunt
