Or is it just a convenience thing like not having to fire up your IDE or $EDITOR just to run tests?

I'm thinking I might be able to pull off some simple PDF generation without having to request something like SQL reporting services, seeing as how we are in a bit of a money crunch right now. ------=_Part_183_4714754.1321310816871 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit @Vassilis: Why did you choose Ruby for your build system; does the language or languages your project uses not come with build tools that are adequate?  Or is it just a convenience thing like not having to fire up your IDE or $EDITOR just to run tests?  Have you investigated other Ruby implementations like JRuby or Ironruby?
