While ASP.NET MVC is a huge improvement, my experience in .NET over 12-13 years has shown that most enterprise-class organizations built monolithic Web Forms apps 5-6 years ago. Upgrading these apps - especially to ASP.NET MVC - are cost prohibitive from both a licensing cost perspective and and labor perspective. When work with prospective clients today, it's almost always a situation where A) the client wants to shoehorn their favorite JavaScript MVC framework their WebForms app or B) They have functionality that is part MVC, part WebForms, and they are stuck in a corner. either way, it's always a monster mess that enterprises generally decide costs too much to clean up.
