Use Gulp for generator

[Awk34]

I'd like to investigate whether using Gulp for the generator build tool would be better than Grunt for our work flow

As long as we can get task parity, I'm sure it would be a nice fit.

I am personally more than willing to contribute towards this endeavour, albeit a bit unexperienced with contributions in general. Any additional resources or guidance would be great :)

Looking forward to see Gulp can be used as an option when init the app :)

Would be a great idea, especially if it means we can break this HUGE grunt file into multiple smaller gulp tasks. I usually store these tasks in a seperate '.gulp' folder, I'm not sure what the conventions are on that but it sure makes the task runner a lot more understandable.

This would be awesome !

I agree with @stefanKuijers . I would be really nice to support gulp. It's faster than grunt. Moreover, it would be great to break the grunt file into serval small chunks of tasks to be more understandable.

Looking forward for this too. Would be awesome to have it as an option inside the generator.

The missing Gulp support is kinda the only thing making me hesitating from using this amazing generator again for my next project :)

[Awk34]

@Kageetai This issue is for using Gulp for the generator itself, not the generated project, so this issue won't really affect end-users.

I have an incomplete Gulp branch with this PR: #1190 . If you'd like to try it out, check-out the gulp branch, npm install and npm link. You should then be able to run the generator with the ability to generate a semi-complete gulpfile.

Oh okay, I missunderstood the title then. Are there any other plans on using Gulp for the end user, too?

[Awk34]

@Kageetai yes, as I stated in my previous comment, look at #1190 . That PR is for the end-user side.
