I just don't get it. What does gulp-nodemon do that nodemon doesn't do itself?

From the readme: "A gulp-friendly nodemon wrapper that restarts your app as you develop, and keeps your build system contained to one process."

If you were simply to include nodemon directly and call .on() you'd end up with a process for gulp tasks and a process for nodemon tasks which gets eww really fast.
