That's nonsense.

The problem isn't the development platform, it is politics and the legislation.

Because they didn't want the regs out before the election, they waited until afterward. You can't to a design, let alone write code, until the regs are issues and past the comment period.

And because they didn't want to show unsubsidized prices they made the idiotic mistake of trying to do the subsidy computation off of live data, which made a fairly simple task far more complex. But they knew no one would buy it without the subsidy.

Using an old version of asp was not a good decision. But it also isn't the core of the problem. As to scalability, .net is highly scalable. And traffic simply isn't the problem here, which was apparent to most of us about two days in.
