ATTENTION: Upcoming Ionic 2 Starter Changes

Would it be possible to override the build step via a configuration setting in ionic.config.js? That way if you’ve already got a set build script (e.g. webpack or npm scripts) you could provide the command in the config file that ionic-cli should use. ionic-cli could then ionic serve as normal. The defaults could be whatever you end up thinking should be default whether its gulp or browserify but It would nice to have fit into an existing build process.

Pretty much what @gwillson said, I just wanted to add there’s no reason you can’t run ionic commands from npm scripts as far as I know:

"scripts": {
  "serve": "webpack && ionic serve"
}

For now, you can just delete the Gulpfile that comes with the starters if you don’t want to use it. In the future I imagine it will be configurable to not start with it.
