Now a GUI designer could be written for such - it's much more easier to do with a toolkit-style system than a plain HTML-templating based one. If you look at the NetCraft stats published yesterday, you can see that IIS has a serious gain, and it would be hard to say .NET and its design tools aren't to be taken into account: http://news.netcraft.com/archives/2007/10/overalld.gif So, toolkit-based approach and better IDEs would probably help out some developer communities. (Personally I never liked .NET and I still prefer to write javascript rather than generate it - but trends are clear, some will need to move) Great!
