Hi Paul, I agree with what you have said - web forms was revolutionary, and MVC learnt a lot because of the experiences the team had. I also think it would have worked the opposite way - had MVC been released first, it might have changed how/whether Web Forms was created. I also agree that Web

The original question implied that Umbraco are rewriting for the purpose of moving to MVC. I think it is much more likely that they were planning to rewrite for other reasons and decided to take the opportunity to switch to the superior platform. Rewriting a large app just to switch from webforms

I am not arguing for or against webforms but the previous argument around battling with the likes of grid events doesn't really do the argument justice. I mean, if u don't like the grid events, use a repeaters and push whatever u want down the wire. You can still iterate over collections

I think that if MVC had come out first, there either wouldn't have been Web Forms, or it would have turned out very differently. For me the attraction to MVC isn't that I like the MVC pattern or that I love dealing with HTTP, or even that using new stuff makes me feel warm inside. It's that the
