I heard Mads Kristensen in his videos mention that Gulp and Grunt are both first class citizens. I thought I even heard mention of the Gulp task runner.
But when I create a gulpfile and right click there's no task runner.
Has anyone been able to get the "native" gulp task runner (if there is one) in Visual Studio 2015 Preview to appear?

If you have never used or opened the built in task runner it is simple, press Alt + Shift + Backspace or select it from the other windows list from the View menu. You should see the task runner window at the bottom of Visual Studio.
Run a Gulp Task in Visual Studio CodeType "Run Task" and select it, which will bring up a list of tasks configured in Gulp. Choose the Gulp Task you want to run! Most of your Gulp Tasks will probably be automated using gulp watch, but manual Gulp Tasks can easily be run within Visual Studio Code.
in the Before launch area and choose Run Gulp task from the list. In the Gulp task dialog that opens, specify the Gulpfile. js where the required task is defined, select the task to execute, and specify the arguments to pass to the Gulp tool. Specify the location of the Node.
The Task Runner Explorer shows a list of available tasks and executing them is as simple as a click of the mouse. You can even bind any task to specific events that occur in Visual Studio such as Build, Clean and Project Open.
View > Other Windows > Task Runner Explorer and click refresh
or just Ctrl + Alt + Bkspace

The Preview version of VS2015 requires Gulp to be installed globally and has a few other issues with auto-discovery of the gulpfile.js. These issues will all be addressed by the time VS2015 ships.
