I am not familiar with ASP.Net, so correct me if I am wrong but this reads like 'some spcific thing doesn't work in technology x, lost hours on it, now it's friday and I wanna go home and am sick of it all, so let's claim I now hate the entire technology' and leaves me wondering: does it really suck that hard based on a single issue? Or are there way more issues like this causing the hate?

Totally agree. Though you can dislike a language, your experience + reasoning with it does not seem warranted.

Agreed. Read the article and wasn't sure where the hate was born.

Forgot to add, I am a big Anti-Windows for anything. Coworker and myself have been trying to tackle the same thing for past two weeks. The hate I am having is towards how stupid is this AutoPostBack thing.
