Not only that. But even if you are making a very simple static HTML website, you start bumping into problems very quickly. Here are a few things where Gulp/Webpack have helped.
- Auto-browser reloading.
- Minification and compiling all JS/CSS into single files.
- Partials for Header/Footer/Menus.
- CSS/JS files versioning (the browser-caching issue).
Sure you can build a static website without all these niceties. But these are a one time investment (gulp+webpack) that you can re-use for your future websites and work.
