Well, ASP, .NET, and C# are all attempts to do the same thing, just generations apart. And they are all built upon the same wrong-headed Microsoft thinking: "Lock 'em into our platform and they'll never escape!"

It's totally immaterial nowadays. But there is some history there, and us grumpy old men still hold grudges against perfectly capable languages (C#) because of the fires they were forged in.
