We use final builder because it gives us a great graphical representation of our builds making them easy to debug and use.  
  
However, once the bulid is working well, we need to automate the process from the command line. Are there ANY plans at all to allow a build kicking from the command line? This is the #1 feature missing from final builder that we can’t do without.

You could use FBCMD - have a look in your FinalBuilder directory. There is also a few help topics about it at the end of the help file in the Automating FinalBuilder section, see here:

I didn't see that! Does the cmd version allow me to use the configuration I made with the visual version?

Yes, it uses the same ini files as the IDE version.
