Nothing is wrong with ASP.NET if your problem is building websites the same way you build Windows desktop apps.

If not however, ASP.NET is simply the wrong tool.

I don't understand what your comment means. Elaborate?
ASP.NET is Windows Forms for the web. It uses the same approach as you'd use to build a desktop app in Visual Studio. Which is good if that's what you want to do (or if that's what your developers already know), but starting from scratch, a natively web solution would be better.
