I'm with you. I think it's funny how people put down a technology (ASP.NET) that was released in January of 2002 because it's not up to snuff with 2013 web development tools.
I also made the switch to ASP.NET MVC and can't imagine ever going back to ASP.NET. The unbelievable clean HTML you get, full control over rendering and rapid development is just phenomenal.
Most of the anti-Microsoft comments I see on HN are of the "but VB6 is terrible!" and "ASP.NET stinks!" variety from people that stopped looking at Microsoft development tools over a decade ago and are still comparing those old tools to their modern competitors.
