I pretty much agree with MartinCron that it is easy to chain together the tools you need for your particular situation, although I run LINQPad scripts instead of powershell or ruby or xml so I get c# intellisense goodness everywhere (great for Ms.Web.Adminstration and SMO). I do wonder if some kind of multi-tenant app that holds application versions in assemblies and can roll up or down between them at will is the future though.
