Should have specified that more, sorry for that. Webpack, for better or worse, has most of the current dev mindshare and tons of plugins, stackoverflow questions & random blog posts. If you need some integration for <fancy thing>, your chance of finding something working for webpack is far higher. You can build/support everything with gulp just fine if you don't want to use webpack, the question is: Why exactly would you specifically choose gulp and not, for example, esbuild?
