I just went through some MVC tutorials after checking this site out for a while. Is it just me, or does MVC View pages bring back HORRIBLE flashbacks of Classic ASP spaghetti code with all the jumping in and out of HTML and ASP.NET with yellow delimiters everywhere making it impossible to read? What ever happened to the importance of code/design separation?? I was really sold on the new technology until the tutorials hit the View page development section.
Or am I missing something? (And don't say you can use the template to help because it's jsut moving the spaghetti to another location - sweeps it under the rug - it doesn't fix the problem)

In ASP.Net MVC, the "spaghetti" code is isolated the UI layer, the View; 90% of your logic will be in the "M" and "C" layers, which are regular, non-spaghetti C# classes. The View is meant to be "dumb". Nothing critical in there from a business logic perspective.
It's really difficult to try and learn an entirely new language/framework under pressure. If you're required to deliver working software for your day job, trying to learn ASP.NET Core at the same time might be heaping too much pressure on yourself.
The main advantages of ASP.net MVC are: Enables the full control over the rendered HTML. Provides clean separation of concerns(SoC). Enables Test Driven Development (TDD).
Using @: to explicitly indicate the start of content We are using the @: character sequence to explicitly indicate that this line within our code block should be treated as content.
see Jeff's post (http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001155.html) which echoes your question, and Rob Conery's response (http://blog.wekeroad.com/blog/asp-net-mvc-avoiding-tag-soup/)
In summary, ASP.NET MVC gives developers the choice of shooting themselves in the foot, although it's certainly possible to do it cleanly. As such, it is suited for developers who are comfortable with web development and have a clean style, but it is not for the developers who want Widgetized behavior a la winforms without having to delve too deeply into the markup.
