Reasons to use

Lost with PureCSS

• Bootstrap or Foundation has too much unnecessary classes which won't be needed in this project.

PostCSS

• Faster compiling process compared to SASS.
• No need to use redundant prefixes in compiled CSS file (saves bandwidth).
• Usage of CSS4 (with cssnext)

ReactJS

• Greater performance with Virtual DOM over AngularJS
• Possibility to use cleaner HTML sytnax with JSX

Gulp

• Takes less time to run tasks compared to Grunt.
• Watches specific task and runs only that task. In comparison, Grunt runs entire watch task.

• Implement Flux
• Better service provider for back-end (IoC Containers & Repository Pattern)
• Bootstrap
• CSS Modules
• Minify and GZ
• Front-end automation with npm scripts
• Infinity Loader
• Switch to ES6 (with Babel)
