NANT is a great build tool.  We used it extensively at my old place - and I mean extensively.

The build scripts were mini-projects in themselves, and we had nothing more than Notepad (or vim) to help us.  Like going on an expedition to the South Pole with nothing more than a big jacket.

But I have now discovered the recently released NANTBuilder2.  Very much like FinalBuilder in it's interface - I've been able to rattle up some NANT goodness in double-quick time.  Check it out.

That does look pretty awesome actually - the target browsing would be especially sweet, especially if it can identify targets across multiple script files. I'll have to download a trial and try it out!

However I just don't know if I could give up Vim for editing those scripts anymore, you have no idea how rapidly you can edit them when you get used to how Vim works. The ultimate solution would be to have the Vim editor inside the IDE, but like that's ever gonna happen :).

Hope things are treating you well down south!
