Should I switch from nant to msbuild?

Question

I currently use nant, ccnet (cruise control), svn, mbunit. I use msbuild to do my sln build just because it was simpler to shell out.

Are there any merits to switch

Answer 1

The most compelling reason to use MSBuild (at least in .NET 3.5 and beyond) - the build engine can build concurrently.

This means a huge speed up in your builds in you have multiple cores/processors.

Previous to 3.5, MSBuild didnt do parallel builds.
