.Net MVC has the possibility to change the landscape for web development.
For a while now web based Netters have been locked into this slightly unreal world where they can mostly pretend they are developing winforms: the markup has been horrible but it has been easy to deploy powerful applications quickly but often with a lumbering UI, reliant on server side for validation and intutive form operations. AJAX and the script manager did change how pages felt but still it is a long way from the semantic HTML that Google and the WAI like.
MVC has been kicking around in FLEX and Java for a while Pure and Swing being pretty popular respectively, but beyond offering semantics to delver cleaner HTML how will it fit into .net land. Patterns like MVC represent a way of doing things, like N-tier, like spaghetti coding so basically divorcing the view from the controller means No postback, it forces you to re-think how you build an application, so at last being a web developer might mean you actually feel positive and in control when using markup .
Its a generalization but small websites that don't do much usually belong in PHP land (like facebook erm) but ASP.net websites often are used as a facade for great big business applications and it will be interesting to see if someone tries to conceptually glue MVCs to tiered apps in the near future.
