Unwieldy in my mind means I *have* to do a lot of complicated things in order use the tool effectively. The mere existence of complex functionality simply means the tool is powerful. Forcing the user to use the script task (or a custom task) to accomplish something (Gerry's example), when a cleaner solution could be had (even if that feature has other powerful uses) could actually make the tool unwieldy. A related argument does have merit: Forcing the user to use functions to accomplish common tasks would in fact make it unwieldy (XSLT's problem IMHO) In short: Does one *have* to learn about functions to use NAnt? If Yes, it unwieldy, if No its simply more powerful. >Just my opinion Mine too :-) Best, Bill William E.
