OMG!!! There is someone that actually thinks the same way I do.

" Have you ever been freaked out because you needed to use Page_PreRender to get something to load into the ControlTree properly so it will show when you need it to? "

Having to do this just makes my skin crawl.

"We’re only now catching up with frameworks that have been creating rocking, compelling sites over the last few years "

Being primarily an MS developer, I started doing cartwheels (and a bit of moaning cuz it was ruby and not c#) when Rails came on the scene. When the ASP.Net MVC came out, my only comment was "bout time". The LAMP community has understood the power of this methodology for a while now and I feel like we're just now catching up.

Keep of the awesome work Rob, your a great inspiration.
