What is the use case for elixir in Laravel5?

Question

Building projects

I'm slowly walking down the Laravel-way and trying to get Laravel-zen.
And in general, I am at the stage of assembling Frontend. I load the bower packages I need. I write sass code. Through the gulp-file and the Elixir-wrapper - I compile and pull the whole thing to the right places.
But the question arises, how to use it in non-stop mode. In the sense that let's say I made a change to app.sass and why should I now run gulp every time? Or even so there is some mechanism that will automatically monitor changes? I mean is there such a mechanism in the same Elixir?
You can of course get out of the situation using compass watch || sass --watch || configure Watcher in PhpStorm.
But I'm more interested in how the Laravel developers themselves see this case.

Spit on elixir. I write regular gulp tasks.
