I've been a (mostly) frontend developer for 8 years now, I've seen plenty of "this new tool will make you obsolete" and here I am pumping more CSS, JS and HTML than ever.
I believe that automation tools like that can make some boring tasks easier and faster, which is welcome.
One other pattern that I see in our industry is that for every new stuff that makes development easier, more room is created for new, initially complicated stuff that gives the creator some kind of competitive edge.
