No, FAKE is not a replacement for Maven. As I said, .NET is left behind in the Ant/Make era.

And since you mentioned an F# project, the absence of a Maven-like build, dependency management and deployment tool is why F#'s Javascript compilers are behind, because you have no shared infrastructure, no cross-compiled libraries, etc, because it's just too painful to do it.

Why isnt it a replacement.

NuGet/Packet for dependencies.

Octopus/Web Deploy etc for deployment.

All of which can be used from this tool.
