Have you actually LOOKED at the code (global.asp, *.asp, *.aspx, etc... ) that VS produces to make an ASP.NET application? Have you EVER had to be in the position to debug and modify that by hand (without the aid of VS)? I have. I ask that you try it before you continue your high praise for the product.
I fully believe that M$ is so full of themselves for offering this as anything approaching "efficient". It's designed in such a way that once you convert, you will have a very hard time getting away from it because it is SO convoluted in its execution. I feel that it's meant more to trap you into staying with their product than making life easier. I have tried (or assisted others) on more than one occasion to get ASP.NET functioning for full development support (server-side debugging, full VS integration, yadda yadda yadda) and have YET to see anyone get it right the first time. Usually we have to rip out and reinstall or update and upgrade which required us to compare and contrast several different explanations from MSDN about what may be wrong and how to fix it. Eventually, we made it work but it was never easy. IF you like it, fine. You may use it. I however recommend against it. Stick with PHP, ASP, PERL, or Python (whichever you prefer) but I personally don't think that ASP.NET is worth the effort for the few benefits it provides.
