I know a ton of people where I work don’t ever touch msbuild because it’s kinda convoluted. Sure if you take the time to learn it then it’s not bad. Cake is literally just chaining ‘Tasks’ aka methods together and writing c# to do anything you want. It has some helper functions and extensions to help out. Also supports pulling in nuget packages.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention MSBuild. dotnet runs MSBuild, and MSBuild is task-oriented (or target-oriented? or target-task-oriented?).
I take editing via MSBuild would cover the same things, but Cake allows doing so without having to use/learn MSBuild?
