Run commands via gulp or npm?

Question

JavaScript

Now, when I need to build a project, I write in the terminal gulp buildwhen to create a new BEM block — gulp block -n block-name. But now I've studied several starter templates ( for example ), everything there is launched via npm, which in turn launches a gallp task. For example, npm run build.
Which approach is correct, how should it be done and why?

True and so and so, but there are nuances.
Suppose there is a project, it has a task for building js (using gulp).
You can run it like this - npm run build-js or gulp build-js.
One day, one of the developers redid the js build task (now it is built using webpack).
npm run build-js still works, but gulp build-js will swear that there is no such task, because now you need to run - webpack build-js
