More on ASP.NET

Maybe the web service that I have to make for my final project will change my mind, but I think that ASP.NET sucks.

I understand that it has its advantages, but I find myself spending a lot of time converting back and forth between data types. Maybe after PHP I have lost patience for strongly typed languages?

Also, its slightly more complicated to get a REST architechture working. By default, ASP.NET supports SOAP. I prefer a RESTful system and ASP.NET forces me to go through a framework called MVC.

Yeah, MSFT giving dev software to students is huge, but if we hate what they give us, will it matter?
