Why do people still use ASP/.NET?

Being a PHP fanboy is fine, but ASP.NET is just a better choice for some applications... some lend themselves more to PHP and some to ASP.

I'm not sure what your source is, but I don't think that Linux is the "vast majority" of servers out there. UNIX/Linux are surely in the forefront, but not as far ahead as you might think.

Asking a question like this is a bad idea, and could have been avoided by a minimal amount of research on your part. You're going to find people from both spectrums that have their favorites and know what works for them. Making a blanket statement like "PHP is better than ASP" isn't really valid.

A few quotes from the linked article:

"ASP.NET's strength lies clearly in its clean design and implementation. It is an object-oriented programmer's dream, with language flexibility, and with sophisticated object-oriented features supported. In that sense, it is truly interoperable with your programmers' existing skills."

"PHP will be familiar to any programmers who have worked with imperative programming languages; you'll notice syntactical similarities with Perl, C, and Java."

I agree with ur opinion!

Maybe there are some reasons I can guess

- Microsoft is so rich, they use money as a powerful tool to advertise the ability of ASP.NET

- ASP.NET is supported so many components that make the programmers lazier to produce idea and they become his servants

- Windows is so popular and of cource, it possibly supports ASP.NET better than other script languages

Who can program PHP well is more independent in technology and community 's supports

Stick to go on ur way, open source is the world of future ;) I believe that

Last, it's my opinion. I know that people who like ASP.NET may be angry but there are always 2 sides of a problem.

and if you are fond of programming, we can make friends

Good luck!

for trouble-free issues, use very own homestead page. For extra complicated projects employing alot of business enterprise good judgment, you will desire much less of a headache employing ASP.internet. in spite of if that's open source or no longer is beside the point. while you're extra of partial to scripting, use very own homestead page. while you're extra partial to merchandise oriented Programming, use ASP.internet (even nonetheless training could nicely be created/used in very own homestead page, i does no longer propose it).

most people use asp/.net because they're used to it, just like how they use ms windows and office because they're used to it.
