Expected or Desired Behavior

I expect to not have to use typescript in my build chain if I choose not to (for instance to use es2015 with webpack). This was stated as being supported (even if Microsoft will not enhance towards using it)

Observed Behavior

tslint gulp subtask is being run from build.rig by default. I found documentation on how to create a custom gulp task, but not how to turn off/overwrite an existing subtask. How can I do this?

Steps to Reproduce

Change back a generated web part project, No Javascript framework, to not be using typescript. gulp serve will work correctly and it builds to the /dist folder correctly. However, once you delete files like these, you see this error when trying to gulp serve (when tslint is run):

• tslint.json
• tslint-tsconfig.json
• tsconfig.json
• typings folder

@hafeez1042 @LuisEnMarroquin
this worked for me in SPFX v 1.9.1

build.tslintCmd.enabled = false;
