ASP breaks the internet

Having worked with ASP for nearly 6 months I think I am qualified to say it is a pig. I could do the same faster and easier using Apache::Template and a handful of perl modules.

What really bugs me is that people use it, and think its better than sliced bread! Worse still are sites that use ASP and can't even get the basics right - like for instance being able to see the friggin' front page! PC Magazine I am talking about you, you muppets! HTF do you make your homepage a 404!!

There are so many broken sites and many of them are either ASP or JSP. I think there is a reason for this..

• Application, Presentation, Data all muddled into a page of HTML.. stupid, stupid, stupid
• VBScript - a crippled language with no merit that requires third party COM objects to be of any use at all.
• ASP/JSP are designed for people who can't program and don't understand the concepts of web development to write dynamic websites
• IIS is the platform for people who don't think about what they do
• Only an idiot would choose to use ASP for a website with more than a handful of simple dynamic pages.
