Nantpad: The Good and the Bad of it

Posted 2004-08-17 01:29 PM in Nant | Tools.

Good: Nantpad version 1.0 is out.

Good: Nantpad gives you a friendly way to author and run NAnt build files.

Bad: They have GOT to be kidding with the pricing. $250 a seat for an editor to an open source tool?  Come on, guys, NAnt is NOT that hard to edit.  $25, no brainer.  $50 gives me pause.  $250 must be a joke.  God bless you for trying. Now try again.

For now, I'll continue to use intellisense and VS.NET to edit build files as outlined in a previous post, using either this older schema or one from http://nant.sourceforge.net/schema/ whenever the 0.85 schema gets updated.
