One of the things I've noticed, but have never formally asked until now: What is the difference between the classes in the System.Net namespace and the System.Web namespace? Why do they both exist? They seem to have different implementations of the same classes/concepts (Cookie, Mail, HttpWebRequest, for example). Are they designed to be used for slightly different purposes? Or is one a legacy namespace?

UI Namespace. Provides classes and interfaces that enable you to create ASP.NET server controls and ASP.NET Web pages for the user interface of your ASP.NET Web applications.
It follows the natural segregation between client and server apps. System.Web is (almost) exclusively used by .NET apps that implement a server. Like an ASP.NET app. It is notable for being missing in the Client framework profile. System.Net contains classes useful to a client app.
