The changes were announced ahead of time, but within the discussion there hasn't really been actual consideration around not switching back to MSBuild. They've been pretty set on the it within the Github issues (#1433) and haven't provided too much reasoning for it outside of tooling. Of course it's not that alone either there is just a bunch of confusion around it right now on the direction of .NET Core.
From one of the end comments:

- benaadams 10y agoThere were two blog posts around the why: Making it easier to port to .NET Core https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/05/27/making-it-easier-to-port-to-net-core/ https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dotnet/2016/05/27/making-it...

Scott Hunter, Damain Edwards and Jon Galloway recently did a live community standup video about them https://youtu.be/YJsQ3tnS7Ew?t=10m39s https://youtu.be/YJsQ3tnS7Ew?t=10m39s
- dvcc 10y agoI get that they have gave their reasoning (all those links were already grayed out), but its much more an announcement than it is a discussion. In the end though, it feels more like an executive decision than a collective push.
- thatsnotreal 10y agoYeah, they actually hold meetings with the community on Google Hangouts where they literally discuss every move in the open. Just because you aren't following it doesn't mean that it isn't happening.
- dvcc 10y agoEntirely aware they do, even watched the relevant part for the csroj piece today; however, not everyone has time to sit through the stand-ups. And when the discussion with the community blows up on Github things don't look as promising as they once did. Sorry I don't share your same sentiment, but I am seemingly not alone in how I feel.
- benaadams 10y agoIf it really bothers you and you don't believe your concerns will be taken into account and there is a huge ground swelling of community support, its Apache 2.0 Licensed, fork it and make something better that fits with your vision: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn-project-system https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn-project-system Its OSS, nothing stopping you...
- dvcc 10y agoDamn I like to complain not code, that's why I'm on HN right now.
