Pro-MSFT, article is not neutral discussion based on programmer experience
This article definitely seems to have been written by the vendor (MSFT) in a biased manner. Even the criticisms section does not really contain criticisms. If you scan the blogs of real programmers out there, you'll find that the majority of them are having major issues with the ASP.Net technology. As these are the realities facing most people trying to actually use the technology, they definitely belong in this article. Some of these issues include:
1. Poorly written auto-generated HTML coming from the Microsoft drag and drop web server controls.
