Frameworks don't dictate code quality. Developers do.
There's been some chat recently about the probability of Web Forms won't survive the transition into the new .NET Core era. And, as folks are apt to do about anything that they have spent hundreds or thousands of intimate hours of their lives with, many people are reacting pretty strongly at the idea. Some are rejoicing at the Death of Web Forms. Some are ready to give a pretty flattering eulogy. I'm sure there are also those out there that are in complete denial and will continue to use it to build brand new projects for years to come (though I haven't actually met those people that I'm aware of).

Of course it does! But really, they’re missing the point!
