 When running `npm run dev` an error appears

 `Warning: Maximum call stack size exceeded`

 Before it finally crashes with
 `FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out
 of memory`

 Commented on Slack and @desrosj informed that he found this when a large
 number of plugins were sitting on the `plugins` directory. Presently I
 have 54 units (all non-active, but still sitting there)

 I tried to remove them all, and it appears that this solves the problem.

 This has been sitting here since the inception of the first Gruntfile
 verison [25001]
