When building projects on a build server, nant doesn't require a full copy of
Visual Studio installed on that machine. I don't have to install VS2003,
VS2005, and VS2008 just to target different versions of the Framework. I found
that getting msbuild support without Visual Studio installed on the build
machine is a bit tricky too. Aside from the actual building of the projects,
nant makes it possible to do complicated file copies, zipping, etc. with the
include/exclude logic of their fileset component.

Subject: [NAnt-users] Why NAnt over VS Studio builds?
As a NAnt noob I have some fundamental questions. The VS Studio build system
has worked fine for me for years, even with solutions that have a few dozen sub
projects. Is there something that NAnt can do for me that would make my life
considerably easier? What convinced you to start using it?
Thanks.
