I’ve used several automated build tools over these many years, and even though I’ve only been using TeamCity for <24 hours, I can honestly say it's the easiest one I've ever used.

During 2 hours last night, and 3 hours this morning, I was able to set up every project we have, convert the Ant scripts, establish the proper dependencies, and have build triggers set up for each one.

Additionally, the Eclipse plugin they made is professional and bug-free. Here's a quick screenshot I took last night while I was getting all the projects configured.

It even includes support for Jabber, so I’m installing a test server on my machine to see how that works. Hard to imagine that I could have a complete build management server set up, including notifications, and integration with task management within 48 hours – cuz that’s how long I think it’s going to take.
