Both still work fine to this day. I don't know what the exact (dis)advantages of the competing toolsets are, but if you know Gulp and Grunt then I don't see why you wouldn't use them.

Was helping an org migrate off of CloudFoundry and Grunt gave us no end of trouble. In the end, we wound up building with Node 8(!) and then praying that everything would still work with a 12.x runtime.

unless one is in need of piping files (and streams) in a complex and prolific way, npm scripts or a makefile can supplant Gulp/Grunt with much less overhead.
