On a general level most companies, at the moment, believe that ASP is the professional way of doing things. That is what I have seen from my interaction with many companies.
Martus what company do you work for and what are they currently developing?

The webmaster for the website of a major RAGE sponsor chose to use ASP, IIS, and Frontpage over other web technologies. His reason for using the aforesaid technologies is they--the technologies--are backed by a major software company, the integration between HTML and script is excellent, and website deployment is incredibly easy.. some companies think ASP is the "professional" way of doing things, not necessarily the most efficient, or the most cost effective way. You should understand the politics involved in any company wide decision. Companies use ASP over other languages for the same reason they use an oracle database over MySQL, or a $500 wireless access point over a $200 one: thats just the way things are.
Please note, however, that my comparisons do not reflect which languages/technologies I think are better. I still believe personal preference should factor into language choices...
