ASP.NET MVC

[Izi]

So I have just watched the videos on ASP.NET MVC on the ASP.NET website and I'm excited.

I went from classic ASP to PHP to ASP.NET Web Forms. The learning curve to web forms was big (for me at least). With MVC it would appear you get the .NET amazingness with the control over HTML you had in ASP/PHP?

From what I understand there is no nasty viewstate, or ugly forms model. It appears to be the best of both worlds. There has to be some downsides though?

I assume the downsides are the face you have to build up your own controls because 'classic' ASP.NET forms controls no longer work properly without viewstate etc.

Anyone have much experience with it?

so if you already properly structure your web applications in web forms (ui, biz logic, data access) then what are the other pluses of MVC?

It seems lots of opensource projects are moving to MVC, i read about it a lot and friends in the industry are telling me how great it is.

The immediate things which appeal to me are complete HTML control, but there has to be more.

Pho - I seem to remember you were using MVC, did you move away from it again?

what you using now?
