What is the use of using Gulp over preproses?
I've been using prepros for a while now. It's an easy-to-use precompiler that pretty much does everything I need. I heard that this is bad for teamwork, but I don't know why. Why would you waste time configuring gulp for minification, concatenation, uglify / mangle, live reload and live server when you can just click one button and get it all done in 5 seconds?

I have never used Prepros and therefore had nothing negative to say about it. However, I think:
a) Your point is a little reductionist. Gulp is not only a precompiler, but also a task runner, and it can do a lot more than what Prepros can do out of the box. It's great if Prepros suits your needs, but what happens when you come across something it can't do? b) Gulp / Grunt / etc. (limited proprietary software purchases are often useful in team settings) and open source (easily adaptable to your needs)
As an aside, I'm not sure if Prepros allows settings to be shared between different members of the development team, but there will be Gulp / grunt / etc. you check your gulpfile / gruntfile / etc. into source control and build tasks / etc available to all developers who have access to the specified repository / project
