classic-asp

Many of us have come from classic-asp background and eventually picked up asp.net for better. But I miss many features from classic-asp that are not available in asp.net. Like, I don't get complete control over the markup renderred to the client in asp.net wherein in classic-asp it was possible.

What are those features you miss from your classic-asp days ?

PS: This question is tribute to original classic-asp that once ruled the world.
