I don't get it, what part of Makefiles are missing in Grunt? I've set up a project pretty simply through Grunt without too many headaches (after grocking how to properly write base tasks)



The simplicity, plus Grunt has an entire ecosystem of already made tasks that none of them really work the same, so you have to learn the quirks of other people's code.

Its basically the NPM problem all over again, but as a build system, while also using NPM which doesn't make not not the NPM problem.
