I was following all the hype about ASP.NET but after a try I figured that it creates a lot dependency around windows and MSSQL for sporadic and small web development, after trying PHP 4 months ago I have to say it's good enough.




ASP.net really does lock you into M$ products.
You have to run a windows OS with IIS. (Mono does not cut it yet)
Thanks to open source projects like the PostgreSQL .net data provider (NPGSQL) you at least don't have to run a M$ database which would suck
even more cash out of you :-)
There are nice .net providers for MySQL and Firebird as well.

PHP just works and it works well.
