In my shop we currently develop what I would consider small to medium sized projects. We have been investigating the Enterprise Library and how it may be able to help us in development. I have particularly been looking at the Logging block and comparing it with Log4Net. It seems to me that the Enterprise Library blocks would be an extremely over-engineered solution for something like simple application logging.
That being said. Are you using the Enterprise Library and on what size projects? What are your thoughts on the Enterprise Library as a whole?
Thanks

Microsoft continues to promote Enterprise Library for enterprise/line-of-business development, and even many Microsoft products as well as projects within Microsoft IT use it extensively.
Microsoft Download Manager is free and available for download now. Microsoft Enterprise Library is a collection of reusable application blocks designed to assist software developers with common enterprise development challenges.
Enterprise library is the reusable software component designed for assisting the software developers. We use the Enterprise Library when we want to build application blocks intended for the use of developers who create complex enterprise level application.
It's my opinion that the enterprise library is over engineered for most things. No, we don't use it, but most of our projects are short term high volume web sites of a promotional nature.

+1 for over-engineered. We use log4net instead of the logging or exception handling blocks. We use the native .NET System.Security namespace instead of entlib encryption blocks. Some of the tracing tools are nice, but we don't have anything in production that uses them.
