I actually feel the same way about "classic" ASP. Yeah, it wasn't pretty. But for simple CRUD pages of the day, it was damn simple and you didn't need ninjas or rockstars to get stuff done.
I remember asp classic. It was the defacto standard for programming on the web, until something better replaced it. That something was PHP.
PHP means access to easy to install, ready to go software, which meets 95% of the needs of small businesses. I would love to see that in python, or anything else, but it simply isn't there. The most widely used python CMS? Plone. It's massive, hard to maintain, and far from easy to install or host.
I've been on and off working on systems like WordPress for pyramid/python for a while, but it's a massive project. One day I might finish it...
