Disadvantages of the ASP.NET MVC Framework - Conclusion
(Page 4 of 4 )
In this article series, we’ve made a rough comparison between ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web Forms in terms of constructing ASP.NET web applications. As is clearly claimed in most places by Microsoft specialists, the new ASP.NET MVC will act as merely an optional web project type for ASP.NET applications.
Although the ASP.NET MVC framework provides a more structured model that enforces a clear separation of concerns within applications, and makes it easier to unit test ASP.NET applications, as well as many other more good characteristics, it raises the learning threshold for most beginners without enough required fundamentals (JavaScript programming, ORM concepts, Linq to SQL, C# Lambda expression, Unit Test experience in TDD, etc.). Moreover, the ASP.NET MVC framework will probably catch up in the UI control department, but most likely it will never be as easy to get started with as Web Forms, where massive amounts of functionality are just a drag and drop away.
All in all, in the face of practical requirements you should consider carefully whether to implement the web application by using either the ASP.NET MVC framework or the ASP.NET Web Forms model. The MVC framework will not replace the Web Forms model; you can use either framework for Web applications. So, before deciding to use the MVC framework or the Web Forms model for a specific web site, weigh the pros and cons of each approach prudently and carefully.
It also helps provide more control over the URLs you publish in your applications, and can optionally provide more control over the HTML that is emitted from them.
