I was doing some work recently on an old asp.net app, and rather than rocking the boat, I just updated it with the existing webform / viewstate structure... which I haven't touched for years. Was weirdly smooth and easy to do things. There is some disadvantages to the approach... but there is definitely something kind of nice about the approach.

It's so good that they brought it back as a first-class thing, see the newer Razor Pages stuff. I'd definitely use that for any kind of quick little internal applications, there's so much less ceremony involved.
