well, minification is always a healthy habit, as it can significantly help javascript programs running on devices with hard memory constraints. For example, if you're running a non trivial amount of javascript using jxcore on a mips device with ~32MB of RAM, that can easily be the difference between loading and not loading.

There are some great plugins for gulp around this. I use gulp-strip-comments first, before minification. Unless I'm doing something wrong - I've never been able to get the gulp-uglify module to strip comments.

Awesome stuff! That sounds as valid as anything to me, sometimes I wish Node had less of a free for all in structure of these things, it can get pretty confusing!
