It depends on your market.

For small markets, price and simplicity matter.

I haven't tried later versions that claim to run on any platform, but earlier versions of ASP only ran on Windows.
LAMP, which powers PHP/MYSQL sites, is free.
Windows is not, so hosting costs are higher, and I had some serious performance issues with sites trying to run ASP apps.


For large markets, intangibles matter, so ASP is more appealing.

I work in the small markets, where the mantra is "I'll be happy to pay you with intangibles."
