What is the/your current/popular choice for dotnet c# scripting ?

I personally use Bullseye and SimpleExec instead of Nuke. I really like sticking to "normal" C#. I used Cake before but never liked it.
.NET build tool using Bullseye and SimpleExec
6 projects | dev.to | 22 Feb 2022

I personally advocate Bullseye in combination with SimpleExec as a build tool for .NET projects due to its sheer simplicity by providing a bare bones API to define the tasks and their dependent tasks in plain C# code. Both these libraries are build by Adam Ralph. It does not enforce any specific model or structure to write your build tasks. When someone runs through the build script, it is fairly straight forward to understand whats going on. We use this build tool setup for Marten for both local dev and CI build tasks and has worked well so far. Also many OSS projects have adopted it.
Are there any reasons for .NET developers learning Powershell ?
