no dev host/port provided

It seems like after the migration from webpack-dev-server to grunt webpack in 5585ad8734eba94701a5bbc4dd74255e55f97ba5 that there's no dev server option anymore.

Previously npm start or nodemon start would start webpack-dev-server on localhost:8080. Now using npm start gives the following:

npm start -dd
npm info it worked if it ends with ok
npm verb cli [ '/usr/local/Cellar/node/11.10.0/bin/node',
npm verb cli   '/usr/local/bin/npm',
npm verb cli   'start',
npm verb cli   '-dd' ]
npm info using npm@6.7.0
npm info using node@v11.10.0
npm verb run-script [ 'prestart', 'start', 'poststart' ]
npm info lifecycle sentimony-2@1.0.0~prestart: sentimony-2@1.0.0
npm info lifecycle sentimony-2@1.0.0~start: sentimony-2@1.0.0

> sentimony-2@1.0.0 start /Users/dwahl/Scripts/sentimony2/sentimony-2

(I modified the package.json to enable verbose output)

It's clearly running as modifying any of the plugin files triggers the Live Reload. Should webpack-dev-server be added as a start option in the gruntfile?

Just wanted to use yeoman for creating new plugins and ran into the same issue. For new developers it must be confusing, since the website suggests using yeoman.
