.Net on Windows, Linux and Mac

Is that ASP.NET though, which is what's being discussed?

Whenever I ask for any commercial help from web design companies, no
one works with .NET and they all use PHP. I was at a meetup session
with "experts" on the Web, and when I mentioned .NET to one he pulled
a face and said PHP was the way to go.

I have looked at PHP and found it awful: you cannot compile it, the
class structure is very limited, and the IDE environment is basic. I
cannot think of much good to say about it. The only positive is PHP is
quicker to use (execution time).

.NET is definitely slow in the same way DB2 was slow versus IMS when
DB2 was hailed as the big change. It made development quick but used
heavy CPU and never took off.

Is there any popular view on this as I am interested to see what the
future may hold. I am now using .NET 3.5 and a lot of web hosting
companies do not even support .NET 3.5!

The vast majority of web servers run linux. .NET does not run on linux.
