Fluentbuild

There is also UppercuT - which uses conventions to create the building, so there is no need to look at this XML syntax.

I am using a real Ruby Rake, just invoking the power of msbuild through your Rake script.

It is quite simple and much better than XML alternatives, in my opinion.

You definitely need to try NUBuild .

I am a developer and I use it on a regular basis, and I work with about 75 projects that I need to create with each change / release of the code. This saved me a tremendous amount of time, allowing me to find build failures locally and much earlier in the development cycle, rather than after I checked in my code.

NUBuild is extremely fast, easy to set up (you only do it once) and gives you the option of a complete build server at your fingertips, allowing you to do "local builds". You do not need to write "dense" xml scripts. When setting up, you need to create only one simple configuration file (see the User Guide). It also has many other features and functions. You can find more detailed information on the project website (on codeplex):
