The only reason I would consider building something for ASP.NET is an overwhelmingly huge legacy codebase I would have to rewrite for something more modern like Rails or Django.

Or something really cool like Seaside or Weblocks.

ASP.NET and ASP.NET MVC are actually completely different (even though they share the same name) - ASP.NET MVC is an MVC framework, just like Rails (and Django, mostly), whereas ASP.NET is component-oriented.

I would use ASP.NET MVC over ASP.NET for any web project I had to build using .Net.

They use dirrent rending engines, but the business logic is more important and is usually > 50% of the codebase, so it can still be reused in MVC Asp.Net.
