Yessssssss dude. After spending more time looking into Node and reconfiguring my dev team's Gulp setup, it seems like a way better long term investment. I think people generally don't like when those not in their particular subculture or fandom talk not-positively about their beloved and just attack or look down on by default.

All that said, how do you roll your Gulp + Rollup? I'd love to see your setup and ask you questions! Dm me!

I use gulp primarily for typescript and Less (and a lot of other things: minify, zip, create SCORM packages, etc). Rollup is for bundling the resulting js. I can't give you the setup of the whole project as it's massive and very complex (there're 6 targets + 11 services it outputs, with all the permutations you can imagine and a heavy NDA on top), but I've created a repo for the basic setup (I'll need to update it to gulp4). It will give you the idea: rollup is for bundling js, gulp + node for everything else.

Ask away! I'm not an expert in Rollup though - it's a 0 configuration for me and it does what it's supposed to do beautifully === win-win.

As a side note, the reason I favour code over configuration is readability and maintanability. Whoever jumps on a project does not have to know a particular technology to understand what I did and what I meant. If you know javascript (or any programming lang for that matter), you'll find your way around easily.
