Looking back, I'm glad that ASP.net sucked so hard. If ASP.net were half-way decent, I probably would have fallen into the void of programmers who continue to use a mediocre tool, without ever trying anything new, because it "works good enough for me". ASP.net got me off of closed source software & frameworks, off of windows, IDE's, and drag-and-drop design. It made me learn linux, http protocol, html/css, the shell, and a real text editor. So thank you ASP.net, for turning me into an OSS developer who will hopefully never use a Microsoft "solution" ever again.
