Writing my first production-level website using ASP.NET and its really not that bad

Not that bad. It's the best man

I never saw asp.net code. Can you provide an example what about it is that awesome?

Asp.net code is not bad but you do need something like React or Vue with it or else on each request your entire webpage will be reloading, of course unless you use ajax instead of React/vue

@gitpush Ajax is bae, and updatepanels.

@Wombat It allows for .net controls to be rendered client-side and .net languages to be used server-side. It's nothing really special, just a different flavor of web development. The built-in controls make basic tasks, including database access, very easy.

@SauceBoss I do actually quite prefer PHP, despite my limited knowledge of it. The syntax is prettier, SQL connection is easier, and lots of things make just a bit more sense.
