Maven equivalent for .Net

Question

For me, the best feature in Maven is not having to keep 3rd party libraries at part of the source tree. Is there a tool for .Net/Visual Studio that does something like that?

Answer 1

The closest existing alternatives are NuPack or NPanday, but nothing exists that does all of what Maven does and which is also at its stability level and feature set. Most of the community consensus is converging around NuPack, though.
