At some point, ASP.NET was seen as a legacy of the Microsoft-centric past that the software industry wanted to forget. It underwent a significant transformation into ASP.NET Core but is now primarily regarded for building Web APIs.

Throughout web development history, there's been a continuous shift between client-centric and server-centric approaches, and ASP.NET can thrive in both.
