You surely don't seriously believe what you've just written?  IME, the
programming skills of those writing ASP is absolutely *dire* (which,
frankly, is exactly what I would have expected).  They are most certainly
NOT "high level web designers".  Script kiddies would be closer to the
mark.  To my mind, code written in ASP is reminiscent of Dr Johnson's
dog:

    A woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on its hinder legs.  It
    is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.

At least programming in a real language, rather than a cut-down and
bastardized "Visual Basic", does result in people using their brains.

As I said earlier, ASP offers *nothing* that cannot be achieved in other
freely-available languages.
