[ 2.3 ms ] story [ 21.4 ms ] thread
Very interesting, I never really noticed the scripts section in package.json. I realize its all the same underneath, but does this give you the same speed benefits as Gulp? Or do gulp's streams (which I admit to having a loose understanding of) manage everything for your in a more performant way?
It's too bad that the other thread[1] is blowing up with so many people missing the second half of the essay.

Keith - you might want to edit the opening paragraph of your first post[2] to include your point that you recommend NPM over Grunt/Gulp and add link to the second post. Without this component of the argument, the first article can be misinterpreted as whining / click bait
