yes, until .net was released, then it was droped overnight by the developers (well, within a couple of years).
I used it, while in school (around 2001) and remember doing anything with databases was a real pain. PHP felt like a step up.

When coming from ASP PHP was just amazing.
Not that it doesn't suck, it just sucks so much less than ASP :p
And there are still ASP developers around, I just recently worked with a company that still writes all their stuff (websites for paying customers!) in ASP

The company I work for has about 4000 customers on an application using ASP / SQL Server 2000. If it works and it does what people want, they really don't care or know even what language it is in.
