If you thought there were tens of ways to do the same thing in git, you should avoid ever learning modern web-dev: For giggles and optimization, I'm trying to learn how best to manage dependencies and generating nice clean output. For deps, there's 3 different repos (bower, grunt & npm). Then, for automation there's 2 different tools (grunt & gulp). THEN, for each of these there are seemingly MILLIONS of competing plugins that each do roughly the same thing, but all with completely different configs, requirements, and outputs.

I've yet to find a truly simple and straightforward system for taking my declared set of dependencies, and automating their inclusion in my application.
