ASP.NET users - Have you moved to MVC

[Izi]

Just curious, have you all made the move yet?

I am in two minds. The only thing I don't like about ASP.NET forms is the viewstate and ugly HTML.

Apart from that I don't seen any benefits as I structure my projects properly anyway.

What are your thoughts?

Been using it for the first time over the last couple of months and its fantastic once you get used to it.
The seperated model works well, cleaner HTML and back to traditional HTML elements as opposed to the 'magic' powered web controls, easy unit testing and just generally seems more logical.
I do miss code-behind pages sometimes but the seperation is better in the long run.

Yeah, any new big projects I start are ASP.NET MVC. Easily testable, separation of concerns by default, no viewstate, full control over HTML/CSS, etc!

I never really liked ASP.NET WebForms I had to use it at work but for personal projects I used rails or PHP with an MVC framework so I was really happy when ASP.NET MVC was created, I love it. I'd still use WebForms if I needed to just quickly dump data from a database into a few datagrids but not much else.
