10 years ago Thanks for pointing this to us. Despite the comparisons on the site, their claims are dubious IMO. The speed comparison especially, as more or less every Grunt task I've ever run, Compass excluded, takes <500ms to run and I can't see them getting better performance on actual Compass integration (i.e. not Sass via libsass plus Compass's mixins) as Compass is the blocker there. While it may be easier to set up, it essentially looks like a pre-configured Gruntfile. While Grunt most certainly has a more robust syntax for setup and doesn't come pre-configured out of the box, it has a much larger community contributing to it and is supported by (essentially) some of the biggest players in modern frontend.
So while thank you for pointing it out, at the end of the day, I think we're going to stick with Grunt. Fortunately, if you're using Aurora's built-in Grunt support, we're setting up everything you need for you, so at the end of the day it shouldn't matter much to you.
