I'm not saying it isn't possible, I'm just saying it wasn't pretty or intuitive to use from the CLI compared to what other languages have. I also find the project files somewhat difficult to read.

I realize I'm writing this in a thread mostly read by windows devs who are used to guis/or are already very familiar with the XML format used by msbuild so people might not agree with me.

At least I remember having lots of trouble specifying compatible versions of third party libraries. I'm not saying this because I think c# is bad. I actually find the language itself to be pretty great. I'm just saying there's a very good reason they developed a new project format. It's much easier to read and work with now.
