Thought I'd throw in my 2c as a heavy NAnt user. Gert wrote:

It seems to me that VS2003 and VS2005 are sufficiently different creatures that any attempt to handle them within a "unified" task is going to be fraught with difficulties and likely to have a dozen or so confusing special cases that need to be documented for users. Instead, I'd suggest that the best way to provide 1st class support for VS2005 would be to include an <msbuild> task that exposes the full capability of the msbuild commandline. By doing this you are ensuring 100% compatibility with what VS2005 does; you may even gain support for other languages at no cost. I think that one key meme to retain is that NAnt has a wider scope than just builds - so even if MSBuild managed to totally displace NAnt as the compilation tool of choice (very unlikely), NAnt would still have a strong role to play.
