Joel is an MS bigot. Also keep in mind that this is the same guy who
thinks structured exception handling is a bad idea, and we should all
resort back to using error codes, so you'll forgive me if I take his
opinion regarding ASP.net with a huge grain of salt.
Don't get me wrong - I generally like his column when he sticks to high
level subjects (and even some low level ones). But, once he starts
waxing rhapsodic about programming philosophy or tools....blech.
