I am hoping you don't include ASP.net webforms inside your statement ASP.net. Sure it makes tons of money but it is a awful web technology for so many reasons.

So I detest ASP.net webforms as much as anyone - but you can't dispute that it was very successful in turning a ton of legacy VB6, FoxPro, etc. LOB apps into web apps. The learning curve was just right for the develoeprs and all the downsides matter much less inside the firewall than out.
