I am not being argumentative and have no desire to be. In fact it's about time for some dinner. My point was not at all whether MVC is here to stay. I believe it and similar separation-of-purposes architectures like MVVM will be around and good choices for a while. Where we started was your suggestion, as I understood it, that non-MVC ASP.NET is yesterday's news. something with about as much vitality left in it as COBOL. That's exaggerating, of course, but maybe not by so much.

Have a good night. After some of my recent behavior it's refreshing to feel calm and be able to disagree and discuss reasonably.

>>We are sort of agreeing there. What you're saying is that even in a Fortune 100 company adoption of new technology can be slow. For sure it is slow in the smaller companies I have worked in (only one Fortune 100, and it was about Fortune 5).

>>As you well know, being another "seasoned" <g> developer, some of the caution, in addition to fear of the unfamiliar, is a result of having been burned by previous soups du jour. Particular those from a certain large company in the Pacific northwest. By the time your order gets back to the kitchen it's no longer on the menu, or maybe your waitperson comes back and says in a low voice, "It's not so good today. Perhaps I can suggest something you would enjoy more?" (Enough of that analogy, which I have already stretched up to and beyond the breaking point).

>>One of my few laughs during the Super Bowl commercials yesterday was one from cars.com. "Sometimes it's better to let others go first, so we can learn." In the third scene two cowboys are hiding behind a boulder. "See if it's clear," one says to the other. The other cowboy stands up and is immediately plugged with arrows.
