As someone who is not afraid of Makefiles (and has used them by default in past JavaScript-based projects), I welcome tools like Grunt to my projects. It fits in well with the types of "build" tasks I'm typically invoking in my JavaScript projects — and done so in a much simpler and abstracted syntax I prefer to work with.

Also, based on your comments, I think you and I have different definitions of "simple". :)

I'm using Rich Hickey's definition: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

You might be using it to mean what he's defined as "easy".
