Unfortunately it embraces it so much that there are several different variations of connecting the parts together, and even then some important tools don't play very nicely with the rest of the Gulp framework.

Consequently, it takes several lines of awkward boilerplate just to run a simple Browserify job that is a one-liner at the CLI. I've also seen Gulp adapters for popular tools, such as ESLint, that break suddenly when something apparently unrelated in the NPM set-up is updated, even though ESLint itself also still runs just fine with a one-liner at the CLI.

In fact, those were the two examples I used when I put my foot down over build tools on one project I work on a little while back. Within 20 minutes we'd replaced well over 100 lines of Gulp code with about 10 one-liner CLI jobs that did all of the same things. The new version has the added advantages of actually working, which the Gulp-based code used to but didn't any more, and of requiring a total of 0 changes since then to remain working, other than when the tools themselves changed their interfaces.
