question: is there a reason you compiled sass using gulp #19

Is there a specific reason why you preferred building css using gulp instead of the webpack? or your implementation of cannot be done on webpack?

KyleAMathews commented 9 years ago

No particular reason other than I already had a working gulp/compass setup that I could draw on. There is https://www.npmjs.com/package/compass-loader so it'd probably be possible to recreate my gulp setup in Webpack. If that's interesting to you, I'd accept a pr.

In general though, I like Gulp and don't think I could completely replace it with Webpack (though I see the value in using only one build tool). In addition to css/js compilation, I use it for copying static assets to the dist directory + building custom font icons.

Thanks for clarifying, I was just starting to learn webpack, and figuring out how things work, so I stopped by and ask, this greatly clarified things to me.
