Well .. depends. drag-and-drop UI ala ASP.Net is great if you only need what MS gives you, there is a huge leep from using the predefined objects and doing without. Besides huge frameworks take ages to learn and you can only be productive if you use them all the time. Besides there is the C# (or VB.Net, but that's the same language with a tiny little bit different syntax). That's a major pain in the ass. Its braindead type system gets in the way all the time. And the person who designed the .Net Framework objects (at least those I had the "pleasure" to work with) suffered from a strong case of OOOverdose. You usualy create ten objects where Perl would use just one. Anyway, by now it's clear that I was forced to spend some time fighting C# and I go mad as soon as I even hear the name so you may safely ignore anything I say. Jenda Perl bends backwards to let you have your way, C# forces you to bend backwards so that it can have it's way.
