There are plenty of opinions. Mine is that making really functional websites, sites that do cool things with database back-ends, is much easier with .NET than it was with VBScript. Debugging VBScript is a real pain. .NET with Visual Studio provides much better debugging capability.

If you can grasp OOP then you'll like .NET. Thousands of built-in classes, inheritance, and user controls make it very flexible. I don't know about it taking over the world, but it works for me, and I'm sticking with it for the time being.
