Again, I agree. Picture this: mocha gives testing globals, browser offers the window and dom, node offers process arguments. Coming from a partial teachers perspective (well, I wasnt hired to teach but I did talk to the students alot) gulp seemed to offer comfort and order in a world where "you can do anything" seems to cause imobilization. That problem I believe can be solved through introducing students to a philosophy of "you are in control, machines are dumb, only google can save you" but I can see where seperation makes people much more comfortable
