Description
gulp.js does not seem to be maintained any more, and the same can be said for most of the gulp plugins or whatever that ecosystem calls them (gulp-git, gulp-typescript, etc.), leading to problems with, for instance, incremental compilation.
Given that we're already using webpack, I don't think we need a full-blown task runner (and if we do, I'd rather use https://github.com/casey/just than gulp).

Research direction
Search the repository for the gulp configuration, gulp plugins, and the existing webpack setup; no specific files or tests are identified in the issue. Determine whether webpack can cover the current task-runner work, or whether a replacement is needed, then verify that the build and incremental compilation work without gulp.
