Ah, okay. I moved away from .Net just after ASP.Net MVC was released, so I didn't get a chance to see what impact it would have on the community.

The reception to ASP.Net MVC, though, confirmed my original point about the .Net community. I heard lots of talk treating the MVC pattern as revolutionary, when, in fact it was something that was rather common outside of the .Net community.

It wasn't even the first .Net MVC implementation, Castle Monorail has been around since late 2005.. 3 or 4 years before the first version of ASP.Net MVC.

But it takes the Microsoft stamp to get a lot of these people excited.
