I don't think I'm using WebForms. If so,
then so far I'm not doing anything clunky.
E.g., I'm not using anything like a
calendar control.

I certainly haven't been using lots of
such knobs. Nearly everything I do
in VB.NET and ASP.NET
is obviously quite close to
really simple HTML and CSS.
As far as I can tell, C# and VB.NET are
equivalent ways, different essentially only
in syntactic sugar, to get to the
basic .NET classes and common language
runtime (CLR). C# seems to want to
borrow from the especially succinct syntax of C/C++ which
I don't like. I prefer the more
verbose syntax from the history
of Fortran, Basic, PL/I, etc.
