He implies that Grunt is dead on the first slide. Well don't I feel stupid since I still use it. I guess it's not cool anymore? I missed the memo. Wait, maybe I'm not cool? What do the cool kids use now instead of Grunt?

Maybe they use Gulp. I don't even know anymore...

Seriously, is no one using Grunt? I know there was a backlash at all the Grunt like tools that came out at the time, but I assumed it was still useful and regularly in use / updated.

We/I still use Grunt every day, works quite nicely to build two separate apps, provides us with a very solid dev environment with livereload.

NPM downloads in the last month:

  Grunt: 812,465
  Gulp:  448,694

Broccoli, Gulp, Mimosa.

I use sudo, at least it helps in the morning with breakfast.

We use webpack at my company and so does Instagram

We use make.

Make.

Can you post a link to a skeleton of a JS project using make? I'd like to look into this

npm scripts
