ASP.NET really rocks! It's so fast, stable, and easy to handle/build.

I second asp.net, its sooo much easier and faster to develop in. I.e.
if you wanted to show data from a db into a table with paging in asp.
It would take a while. You have to loop through the db
Response.Write'ing all the <tr>'s and use that bloody awful
adovbs.inc file to do paging.
In .net you fire up vs.net(or web matrix a free version) double click datagrid, click allow paging, then select a datasource.

Yes! It is easy! It's just like developing an application, with a web interface. Infact, it's almost a full 100% simular to 'regular' form programming, except the Forms namespace, and some declarations.
I think it is so great you can create .NET web services, and have both .NET applications and .NET web applications acces those services, and act the same! That saves TONS of work and it's easier to update. I also like XML. It is fast and everyone understands (or understands a little bit) about it, due to it simple syntax. I'm not really into XMLS schema's and stuff, just pure XML works fine.
Anyway, its faster, better, more powerfull then ANY other language used for web programming today, I'm sure! I'm so happy Microsoft developed this thing you know  !

I've used all those since version 1.0. As far as web development goes, Perl was a 1st generation language, ASP and PHP were 2nd geberation, .NET is 3rd+ generation.
There's always a trade off for languages between ease of use/functions that do a lot, and enabling the developer to get down to the bits 'n bytes. .NET seems to have hit both ends of the spectrum.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

I pretty much abandoned Unix about 10 years ago, and I only use ASP for production stuff. I monkey around with ASP.NET only because I can use VB.NET with it.
P.S. Does anyone know how to build VB.NET components for ASP? (Yeah... dumb question... but I need to do it and I'm having troubles...)

Hmm, I don't really know if that's possible. I'm not really into ASP, I'm more of a next generation 'programmer'. If you can load custom DLL's into ASP, it might just be possible, but don't count on it. Just write it all in .NET
