Easier to learn does not mean better. I addressed many points on why I like ASP.net better.

I like IIS a lot more, that is a complete matter of opinion.

Thats not an argument for PHP, its just a fact about vB. It was built in PHP because it is the most widely used and they didn't want to require a Microsoft system. It doesnt mean it is better, it just means it has more wide us. Arguing that PHP must be a good language because of that is a bandwagon fallacy.
