Hating ASP.NET again

The more I use ASP.NET, the more I can't stand it. I'm using the ASP.NET Ajax stuff and it'd be so much faster if I just did everything "manually" rather than navigating this maze of UpdatePanels and RegisterClientScriptBlocks and AsyncPostBackTriggers.

Web apps are just XmlHttpRequest + some JSON and CSS and DOM manipulation. I already know all that stuff. Why does Microsoft fail so hard at simplification that they make it more complex?
