In my view, some reasons are: 1. It brings together the control of flow and extra build/packaging steps into one technology, rather than having to write dos batch scripts (shiver) to hook together many different tools.
2. By addmission of an MS consultant, Microsoft have never, and never will use Visual Studio to do any in-house building. It is not designed as an enterprise build environment. Why else are MS jumping on the bandwagon and writing MSBuild, something that I'm sure will have many similaritys with NAnt.

I have been using Nant for quite awhile now and am extremely happy with it. I would not use anything else but my organization is questioning why we should be using Nant and not just use Visual Studio to do our builds. I am having a hard time replying back to management in terms that will be understood. My group is trying to make Nant a standard that will be adopted by my organization for development with .Net. Anyway any feedback would be extremely helpful!!! Help, -Todd ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by Yahoo. Introducing Yahoo!
