All the software is equally bad…
Well, I know some pieces of software that are good, but I won’t mention them today.
One of our msbuild vs nant choice criteria is a product versioning support.
Sad or funny things are:
- both don’t include sane tool out of box;
- both need installing NAntContrib or MSBuild Community Tasks;
- even then both can’t sanely write AssemblyInfo.cs in order to leave other properties intact; if you had InternalsVisibleTo satellite unit test assembly – it won’t build then;
NAntContrib Version task is way more functional.
Additionally, MSDN page design where MSBuild reference manual lives, is awful.
I wonder if it’s the reason to choose a build tool, while they are approximately equal.
OTOH, MSBuild has a great GenerateBootstrapper task to install .NET framework from MSI (WiX sample included in the referenced wiki).
