"grunt, gulp, webpack, coffeescript, babel" --- except no one uses these anymore and they are dead outside of legacy software.

The problem with the python tooling is no one can get it right. There aren't clear winners for a lot of the tooling.

I think that's the point. Every now and then a language will have a small explosion of new tooling, and all you can really do is wait for it to blow over and see what tools people adopted afterwards, it feels like Python is going through a period like that at the moment.
