Well, yeah. That's why I've always been somewhat puzzled by all the attention ASP.NET MVC got. I've been writing MVC apps on the web for over a decade, and well, a lot of the design can be carried over to WebForms.

And there's a few naive people out there that seem stunned when they see a "bad" MVC app. No matter how much "good design" is enforced at the framework level, someone will come along and mess it up good.

Very much agreed. I learned rails before playing with ASP.Net MVC, but I had the same experience. I found my work in Webforms improving based on the new perspective. Besides, you do get a lot "out of the box" in the webforms world.
