Tasks cleanup

Our current gulpfile/tasks pipeline has grown too much it might be overwhelming for new users to get started with the starter kit. Rewriting the entire tasks system should be our main priority before upgrading to TS 2.3.

• Make each features of the starter kit (e.g. testing, etc.) optional (yo generator perhaps?)
• Improve the available guides to be noob-friendly (assume users have no prior knowledge of JS)
• Consider ditching gulp for other better alternatives (pure npm tasks/brunch) (might have to ditch the flattened directory option)
• Look into using brunch (idea: @bryanbecker) We might just use pure npm tasks + Webpack after all.

@bryanbecker We could do that, yes.

Speaking of which, do we want to make the logger (located in src/lib/logger) to be a separate module as well? If yes, I could ask @ezolenko (he originally wrote it) if he wants to do that.

Yeah, I think the general gist of this thread is all implemented, aside from testing support and documentation. We could close and open a new issue threads for the two.

Maybe close it and reopen a more specific issue referencing this one?
