WebForms

From a Hacker News discussion on this topic:

ASP.Net controls, postbacks for everything, view state, a general hiding of the actual power of ajax and an obsession with using tables made .Net a terrible web development environment if you had any clue what you were doing.

That kind of sums up how I felt about WebForms. They worked fine in certain situations, but it really felt like a bunch of crap built on top of simple web programming to get the Internet to feel like VB 6.
