ASP.NET MVC reminds me of old Classic ASP spaghetti code

Question

I just went through some MVC tutorials after checking this site out for a while. Is it just me, or does MVC View pages bring back HORRIBLE flashbacks of Classic ASP spaghet

Answer 1

see Jeff's post (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001155.html) which echoes your question, and Rob Conery's response (http://blog.wekeroad.com/blog/asp-net-mvc-avoiding-tag-soup/)

In summary, ASP.NET MVC gives developers the choice of shooting themselves in the foot, although it's certainly possible to do it cleanly. As such, it is suited for developers who are comfortable with web development and have a clean style, but it is not for the developers who want Widgetized behavior a la winforms without having to delve too deeply into the markup.
