It depends on how you are writing it? If you are writing things the same way you write ASP and CF then there isn't much different. ASP.NET allows for a completely different way of developing applications in general.
It makes the applications seem stateless, Using web forms and code behind, somebody who is more used to developing desktop applications can easily develop web applications. You design your form, then you associate events with things. Your actual code is compiled and can run much faster. But if you use it like a scripting language, then you are not going to see the benefits. IMHO, .NET has a place, but it is not for small sites or system. It brings a lot of complexity to the table, if you are not going to take advantage of it, then don't use it.
