> I'm also not a huge fan of ASP.Net. I've never really cared for it, and I think that stems from a project I had early in my career duct-taping together another developer's classic ASP applicat^HHH monstrosity and mucking about with IIS and FoxPro (!!). I know it's not classic ASP, but once bitten, lol. I will say that it is modern and performant, but very rigid. I'd defer to others' opinions here because I have mostly avoided it. Indeed, it's a completely different product nowadays.

Microsoft sucks at naming. They have reinvented their web stack several times, but have stuck with the ASP (.Net) moniker. There's ASP, ASP .Net WebForms, ASP .Net MVC, ASP .Net WebApi, ASP .Net Razor Pages, ASP .Net Minimal API, ASP .Net Blazor (several forms of it, too). Some of them suck, some of them are very nice, but that's incredibly confusing for people not familiar with the stack and job seekers trying to determine how much they will hate the new job. It's like React being called jQuery RX, Vue being called jQuery RX 2 and Svelte being called jQuery SX.
