2 Things I want in ASP.NET

Absolutely! these two "MSFT knows better" behaviors are infuriating.

The non-runat-server controls are actually there. Simply most put up the .NET cup when working with ASP.NET without forgetting that they simply writing HTML with replaceable tags. Best regards, Paul.

I had about a dozen witty replies to this but I have to say I'm truly curious as to what the alternative would be in an ASP.NET site.

Use ASP.NET as a compiled ASP, I imagine. Don't use any built-in ASP.NET controls, just use it to spew tag soup. You gain absolute control over the HTML output, at the cost of having to take complete control over the output.

Then you should write your code on bare metal. ;P

Mostly, when you see programmers, they aren't doing anything. One of the attractive things about programmers is that you cannot tell whether or not they are working simply by looking at them. Very often they're sitting there seemingly drinking coffee and gossiping, or just staring into space. What the programmer is trying to do is get a handle on all the individual and unrelated ideas that are scampering around in his head. (Charles M Strauss)

Hey, can't you read things in red? Don't post programming questions on The Lounge! :-D

Yes! I don't add an id attribute to the control unless you want it to be accessed from code behind. The naming containers come into action and generate a scope prefixed name. In general you can avoid ids for all controls except for form controls. Alternatively you can use control adapters. I am feeling encouraged to write an article: "Avoiding the id mess in ASP.NET"

What about having to keep specifying Runat="Server" when there is no option?

I know it's more work but can't you write something like the CSS adapters so that you can control these things?

Look at the MVC framework, it's like ASP.NET without the events. Another option is to not use a server side form. The controls actually output clean HTML without viewstate if they can't find the serverside form element. 3.5 extensions[^] in standard new microsoft style, the best intro is the 3rd video on the download page.

The difference between pH 13 and pH 8 is five, which meant that pH 13 was ten to the fifth power - a hundred thousand times - more alkaline than pH 8. That kind of thing goes on all the time.
