Where are all the cool startups that run on ASP.NET?(sashasydoruk.com)

"Sure there are Community Server, MySpace, DotNetKicks and DasBlog; there are all very fine products, but compare them to LAMP, Rails and Java lineup: Digg, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Flickr, Backpack and the Company, Delicious, all the Google Apps, Mint, Meebo, Twitter, Zillow and of course Infinite Cat Project. If you checkout the new startups on TechCrunch, it seems like every new startup is something Linux based and is not ASP.NET."

I am currently building a (fantastic) new application in ruby on rails. There are many reasons for this:

Linux is cheap.
The simplicity of rails blows ASP.NET out of the water. It doesn't try to hide HTTP from the developer, it embraces it.
Rails deployment is fantastic (capistrano). I can provision and deploy my application to a brand new (no OS) box in 30 mins.
MySQL is cheap and scalable.
Rails scales well and easily (memcached).
I still don't forgive MS for IE 5 and 6.
Open source is the way of the future for platforms and frameworks.

BTW, technology does not drive ideas. The question is flawed to begin with.

MonoRail ? ProMesh.NET ?

Those are all MVC frameworks and open source as well, based loosely on RoR.

I use ASP.NET and MySQL all the time, I'm sure many other developers do too.

- "Open source is the way of the future for platforms and frameworks."

Sure Microsoft itself is not open source but they have been allowing the community to open its source, just look around codeplex. There are tons of open source projects available for .NET.

I feel that ASP.NET Web Forms are targetted towards Web "Applications." That's why I moved towards an MVC framework, like ProMesh.NET, when I'm working on public websites. I really believe MVC is the way to go and word around town is that Microsoft is developing an MVC framework for .NET.

My 2 cents of course ;)
