Should we Switch From Nant To Msbuild?

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

Are there any merits to switching my whole build script to MSBuild?

I need to be able to run unit tests, deploy. Is this easier?

I know people that swear by one or the other and have written scripts in both. I usually use NAnt and call MSBuild for sln/proj files on some projects like you are. With ASP.Net stuff, it's just simpler this way.

With that said, .net 4 works with NAnt and while there hasn't been any huge updates in NAnt for a while, there's still people working on it. There's an assortment of plugins/extensions for it, and it's something you already have in place.

If it's not broke, I wouldn't change.
