> Misconception #3: Gulp’s Streams Are Necessary for Fast Builds

The author fails to acknowledge that gulp is also asynchronous. This is what makes it "fast". Streaming is just a nice abstraction for passing data through a pipeline.

Sure you can do async on command line but that's not trivial and the author doesn't address that.

'make -j' seems trivial enough to me.
