Gulp seems more like a feature and less like a build system. In fact: http://blog.evanyou.me/2013/12/29/gulp-piping/ and https://github.com/wearefractal/vinyl-fs

Grunt works just fine. Make is probably ok once you learn it. It is a shame that we as a community don't take time to create amazing tutorials for our older tools like we do with our newer ones.

I think the main issue ends up being that github has created a double edged sword in open source dev land. You have people creating projects just so they can earn stars and thus resume fodder. This ends up creating packages with no maintainers and multiple projects that do the same thing. I mean really, how many different string parsing npm libraries do you need?
