I hated asp.net mvc, I think due to the large amount of layers and boilerplate that had to be banged out.


FWIW MVC is completely optional nowadays.

Take a look at this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/m...


Thanks for that link. If I'm not wrong, it doesn't change the fact that compared to Rails or Django there's a lot of boilerplate that needs to be written to get a database-driven web app running.


What makes you think this way?

I’m pretty sure even back then Entity Framework was very capable, it has only improved since then.

It’s probably better to compare with other statically typed, compiled languages since both Ruby and Python are an in a different class (and an order of magnitude slower, more painful dependency management, etc.).
