gulp-util offers utility functions for Gulp plugins, simplifying common tasks. It provides colorized logging, buffer manipulation tools for streams, and convenient event handling. Useful for creating robust Gulp tasks, it helps manage file paths, report errors effectively, and streamline plugin development. While its core functionality has been largely superseded by more modern npm packages, gulp-util remains a helpful tool for working with legacy Gulp setups.
