I've never used ASP.NET, I mean they work fine in GUI apps where you click a button, start downloading a file, and then show a message when the file has been downloaded.

Making code nonblocking without threads and without callbacks = happy case for async. Writing multithreaded servers focussed on throughput is a whole other can of worms, which is basically my point.
