  MVC is so 2007

    Its Ok, coz the target market for the MVC Asp.Net is 2005 or ealier. Lots companies are still at dotnet 1.1 actually with the latest version 3.5

    And the better way that has come along since then is ... what, exactly?

  The only reason I would consider building something for ASP.NET is an overwhelmingly huge legacy codebase I would have to rewrite for something more modern like Rails or Django. Or something really cool like Seaside or Weblocks.

    ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC are actually completely different (even though they share the same name) - ASP.NET MVC is an MVC framework, just like Rails (and Django, mostly), whereas ASP.NET is component-oriented. I would use ASP.NET MVC over ASP.NET for any web project I had to build using .Net.

      -- ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC are actually completely different (even though they share the same name) -- They use dirrent rending engines, but the business logic is more important and is usually > 50% of the codebase, so it can still be reused in MVC Asp.Net.

  The original announcement by Scott Guthrie: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/04/01/asp-net-mvc-1-0.aspx http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/04/01/asp-net-mv...

  This really isn't big news. Asp.Net MVC framework has been under and Open Source license (a custom license - http://aspnet.codeplex.com/license http://aspnet.codeplex.com/license) for a long time now. This news is just that they switched to the common MS-PL license. I have done a project on the MVC framework, and must say that it is a huge breath of fresh air compared with the ASP.NET Web Forms framework.
