I deliberately hang back on investing time in something unless it's immediately, drastically simpler than what's there now.
- My 47-line Gruntfile became a 23-line gulpfile, and I understood it better, so I learnt gulp.
- I don't see any huge advantage in using browserify, just syntactic difference, so I'm sticking to RequireJS right now.
- After reading about ractive and how simple it was (have an object, have a mustache template, you have bindings) I started using it in place of Angular.
Speed is the reason. If you have gruntfiles that rely on a lot of compilation you know the pain of 5 or 6 second build times, with Gulp it's like a half a second.
