20,623 Pointswhy use gulp instead of grunt? Where does gulp excel over what grunt can do?
I've used grunt for a while now. I'm wondering if gulp has some functionality that grunt does not.

Snippet:
There are two main differences between Grunt and Gulp:
Grunt focuses on configuration, while Gulp focuses on code
Grunt was built around a set of built-in, and commonly used tasks, while Gulp came around with the idea of enforcing nothing, but how community-developed micro-tasks should connect to each other
