I love me some [TeamCity](http://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/)

here is what our [Racer](http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2008/07/08/a-sneak-preview-of-typemock-racer.aspx) build looks like these days (some of them run Finalbuilder scripts)

and here is what our main [FinalBuilder](http://www.finalbuilder.com/) build tree looks like(notice all the tabs on the top? each one is a small build tree - like a function):

I am really impressed of how much easier it is to managed our build and CI process than it was with msbuild.
