My discoveries in the last months:

  • npm-run-all to run npm scripts in parallel or sequence (and get rid of task runners like grunt or gulp).
  • Webdriver.io for my E2E tests
  • neutrino is some kind of wrapper around Webpack and is really worth having a look at.

You can also get rid of task runners by using only webpack along with its loaders and plugins. With webpack 2 and beyond, the webpack team's goal has been to do just that. Be the alternative to task runners like Gulp and Grunt. Especially when working with libraries like React for example.
