The wheels turn slow, but when they do, they grind. – Micah

ASP.NET

Gripes with ASP.NET (just needed a place to jot these down):

0. There are 8 different ways do do anything
1. Way more complex than asp classic, for little benefit
2. the server controls they give you are useless
3. Once you use their server contols you have to go whole hog into all their stuff, and the second you want to change you have to start doing everything yourself
4. They're trying to make server side development look like client side desktop VB 6 development, and it's a completely false representation of what's going on, which only serves to obfuscate.
5. compiled... got a jsp style editor today
6. too much magic (forms
7. convoluted model, forced into their structure
8. their javascript postbacks and such are bad
9. The way they recommend that you write your code (I've been working my way through an ASP.NET book from Wrox) is very bad.
