Microsoft finally realises VS2005 web site apps suck

http://webproject.scottgu.com/Default.aspx

YEY!!! Finally, after 2 years, we get VS2003 functionality back in VS2005. The biggest pain point I have, every single day, is dealing with the vile VS2005 web sites. Microsoft has finally realised that this monstrosity spawned to soothe the demented minds of webmonkies who think HTML is a programming language is actually bad for real developers. Really, how does catering to the people who think “build“  refers to writing code help them? (Oh wait, I know. It allows them to gain access to “web developers“ while knowing that people who know what they are doing still won't defect.)

This is exactly like I predicted -- Microsoft will have to back down. I guess it took the final RTM launch for everyone to try to upgrade their apps and then find out that the new model is unusable. I wonder how many PSS cases/pieces of feedback they got.

Well, I can't wait to change our projects to this format. I was planning on restructuring our solution (22 projects in VS is unwieldly) anyways, and this will go great with it. I know a few developers who are gonna be real happy when they come back after the holidays! Maybe this means that doing a public refactoring in our solution won't take 45 seconds anymore? Maybe these apps will build in less than a minute (like every other C# app)?

Oh, BTW, I'm far from ungrateful, even though I might sound like that. I'm actually very happy that the ASP.NET team is doing this, despite the fact that I might roll my eyes and say “yea, about time!” :). But after going through all the pain I have... perhaps its understandable.
