After realizing how tedious it was to hack around Webpack just to get some basic build steps to work, I finally got around studying how to use the Gulp task runner!

It was not so bad, to be honest. Compared to Webpack, there were definitely less "hacking" and "workarounds".

Gulp is so much fun.

Yup! Although the initial configuration of watchers, file compressors, and production logic is insanity, the finer level of control is a breath of fresh air compared to Webpack.

I'm definitely using Gulp more in my future projects. This time, I'll be reusing my old Gulp file to save on time.
