I also like the less heavyweight approach where one can compose tools to do things. The existing .NET tooling is so entwined with MSBuild that one can't even (easily) invoke the C# compiler without an MSBuild project file.

Don't get me wrong, I like MSBuild and even bflat is built with MSBuild (wrote a custom target to invoke bflat from MSBuild), but sometimes I really just want to write a Makefile and be done with it instead of fiddling with MSBuild targets.

bflat integrates nicely with Make or other build systems - pass `-c` to generate object files (link it later with the commands bflat would use - use `-x` to see the commands), or use `bflat build-il` to create .NET assemblies and pass those as a reference (`-r`) to `bflat build` later.
