    Microsoft discontinued a lot of development tools/platforms over the years. The one that has a big impact on our company is the Active Server Page. We still have a lot of "Pages" that need maintenance from time to time without the development environment - Visual InterDev. It is a pain. What is the next to discontinue? SharePoint, Entity Framework, Windows 8?

    ASP.NET WebForms...(I have about 40.000 of them)

            Certainly must be nearing the front of the queue, they've been pushing the far better MVC for a while now and old ASP.net is a mess I'm sure they'd like rid of.

              What is your point ? Of course old platforms are discontinued and new platforms are created. Microsoft is not charity, it is a company.

                If you follow news about ASP.NET vNEXT you can see that WebForms got no updates at all...

                                Actually Windows 8 Desktop (only) Edition might be worth having.

                                    Are you suggesting to use NotePad++ for ASP development? It does provide nice color coding for the code.

                                        Very true, I think as well MS have been trying for a while now to win the hearts and minds of the open source crowd (with limited success) who generally look down as webforms as 'not real web development'. I could see them ditching webforms as a way to win them over (which wouldn't work) while simultaneously giving a middle finger to the millions of dedicated webforms devs out there (which would work).
