My first impressions with WSPBuilder for SharePoint 2010 environment are that the functionality looks inferior to the out of the box toolset. This is testament to the guys at Microsoft finally focusing on this stuff! There are some great videos on Channel 9 that explore these tools.
WSPBuilder is a great tool for SharePoint 2007 environments as it simply fills the void of functionality not provided by VSeWSS 1.2 (yes 1.3 is still in CTP!) and it supports Visual Studio 2005, 2008 and 2010 helping the armies of developers not yet on the latest and greatest!
I personally really appreciate all the hard work @keutmann

I've have written an overview here of the features of WSPBuilder 2010 BETA 1.1 for SharePoint 2010 environments below.
The base project has a SPHive and GAC folder
The Project Items available to add in BETA 1.1 are:
- Web Part Feature
- Blank Feature
- Sequential Workflow Feature
- State Machine Workflow Feature
WSPBuilder Menu
The menu has the same options but has added keyboard short cuts for each.
WSPBuilder Build Output
It detects the SharePoint environment and outputs it for SharePoint 2010.
WSPBuilder Manifest.config
The manifest.config file allows you to customise the process for building the WSP. This includes adding dependent solutions and assembly redirects.
Web Part Feature
WSPBuilder adds project items to various areas to create the Web Part instance. Creating additional web parts will create individual Features.
The Event Receiver it creates does not include the FeatureUpgrading new Event for SharePoint 2010.
Blank Feature
The feature.xml file Version states 12.0.0.0 on first creation
Sequential Workflow
This currently has an error in it.
This is the base elements.xml file it generates for the workflow too.
State Machine Workflow
This currently has an error in it.
This is the base elements.xml file it generates for the workflow too
