Grunt vs Nuclide: What are the differences?
Grunt: The JavaScript Task Runner. The less work you have to do when performing repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, linting, etc, the easier your job becomes. After you've configured it, a task runner can do most of that mundane work for you—and your team—with basically zero effort; Nuclide: An open IDE for web and native mobile development, built on top of Atom (by Facebook). A unified developer experience for web and mobile development, built as a suite of packages on top of Atom to provide hackability and the support of an active community.
Grunt belongs to "JS Build Tools / JS Task Runners" category of the tech stack, while Nuclide can be primarily classified under "Integrated Development Environment".
"Configuration " is the primary reason why developers consider Grunt over the competitors, whereas "Remote development with SSH" was stated as the key factor in picking Nuclide.
Grunt and Nuclide are both open source tools. It seems that Grunt with 11.9K GitHub stars and 1.55K forks on GitHub has more adoption than Nuclide with 7.99K GitHub stars and 745 GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, Grunt has a broader approval, being mentioned in 796 company stacks & 430 developers stacks; compared to Nuclide, which is listed in 8 company stacks and 5 developer stacks.
