There are two reasons this is an issue (for me) 1) using devenv to build is MUCH slower on many of the projects than just using MSBuild. ... yes I know, longer build times mean more time at the water cooler or whatever...
2) Using devenv, each project that gets built becomes a most-recently-used file for visual studio, so the things I'm actually working on (not the dozens of projects that get built with automated method) get lost; they get shoved off the list of recently used files pretty quick.
