While true, at least IMHO the forms based ASP.NET 2.0 model (which is _very_
close to the VCL model) is vastly superiour over the template based PHP/CGI
and ASP.NET 1.1 models, and with a _real_ language, instead of a scripting
one, so with decent errorhandling etc and with a magnitude of performance
between PHP and Delphi.
Also the webserver can better schedule/terminate/clone the interpreter with
a managed language. (back to the corba days)

I like ASP.NET. Also the gigantic size of the .NET API's, and also a bit the
vastly expanded methods of databinding. However only in combination with
ASP.NET you could convince me that that is something that might be better
than what I/we already have. And then only on Windows, the whole
multiplatform angle is IMHO bogus.
Of course, in my current job with 40-80MB/s of image data to analyse in our
heaviest application, .NET might be a bridge to far :-)

I agree technically it doesn't. But it does have some best of breed
properties, aside from portability. But you have to like the breed....
