"WCF, AppFabric and ASP.Net" happen to give you an awful lot of that sort of infrastructure for free, I rarely directly use anything async in my web apps either. I do wonder how you're managing responsiveness in the forms apps though?

Where the async syntax really shines is dealing with external services. If you're calling a lot of database, web services, sockets etc it can make your life easier.

To be honest our webforms app is tiny and only does basic integration tasks between legacy software and our web app so there are no points it can block.

We do everything synchronously with respect to databases. Integration is all docoupled into workflows.
