ASP.Net is IMHO one of the best parts of dotnet - and this is the reason for the Winforms "neglect.

I have looked hard at python (and am reading sometimes the Dabo list) as it seems a very nice language: but here in germany I could not land much work. I am biased as I have more contacts in vfp, but I mostly used jython to help me get a dynamic angle in java apps - pure python dev is mentioned for web (but used is java beans, PHP or ASP) but NOT for enterprize dev. The only circles python is used is in science and numerics: scripting R and other statistical packages. Have your clients problems with you developing apps in a "scripting" language ? What kind of clients can you find for your Dabo apps ?

curious
