I am not arguing for or against webforms but the previous argument
around battling with the likes of grid events doesn't really do the
argument justice. I mean, if u don't like the grid events, use a
repeaters and push whatever u want down the wire. You can still
iterate over collections in webforms just like MVC and output whatever
goo you like.
It's interesting tho as the event model that you say you battle so
much with IS a compelling piece for many other devs. As always, horses
for courses.
I haven't seen anybody mention model binders yet which I find a
compelling yet conceptually simple piece of MVC.

One of the things I find that makes MVC so productive is it doesn't
have lots of control toolkits. Wrestling with grid databind events to
make a row format correctly or chasing event handlers all over the

OnEnable, OnPaint, OnDisplay event is a nightmare I am happy to see
the back of.
+1 and I'd argue that unless you're trying to do a wholesale web-as-
a-platform move ala GWT, event driven programming doesn't really
make a lot of sense given how the underlying technology works.
I always find it telling that the question of reach for the app (for
Internet facing stuff that makes coin) rarely comes up in these
technology threads.
