 ASP (not 
ASP.NET) is over a decade deprecated by now.  Having
 programmed in all 3 (PHP, ASP, 
ASP.NET), 
ASP.NET is *much* more
 productive and has *much* better development tools.
 The only people I know that express the same opinion as yourself are
 people who are either i) anti-MS bigots like Dave McGuire, so there's
 no point in attempting to have a rational discussion with them, ii)
 make their living from PHP, or iii) have never actually used 
ASP.NET
 and they are just /. "me too" types. 
 
  Hey, it's not MY fault you don't recognize vendor lock-in when you see
it. ;)
