The .NET framework is pretty good, but Stefan has a point on the paradigm limitations of ASP.NET (bringing the VB6 programmers to the web on a MS technology).

The .NET framework is pretty good, but Stefan has a point on the paradigm limitations of ASP.NET (bringing the VB6 programmers to the web on a MS technology). By thinking outside the MS box, we have built a site that receives over 5 million pageviews a day... but the .NET part is limited to serving pages with low traffic and interaction, managing sessions and hits and doing some minimalistic HTML rendering. The rest are Ruby-generated HTMLs and some indexing services.
