        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.

          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?

          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...

                                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).

                                      While they were busy discontinuing stuff to usher us over to WEight, I simply discontinued developing for anything made by Mickeysoft.

                                      The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
