Why? Node.js has the fs library for that. Why do I have to use gulp?

They also support webpack out of the box. You can most likely add build tools by doing your own integration as well.

I normally don't use neither. I'm just curious on why they say that.

Would prefer a cli version like browserify. And then integrate it on other tools.
