I use ASP.NET at work, and I can't really say that I like it much.
It's kind of clumsy and annoying sometimes, and sometimes it's a bit "too complex" than it should be, as in stuff that should be rather easy suddenly becomes hard.
But it has its good points as well, as in that they have tried to make things that are considered "hard" a bit easier, although in my opinion it only makes it harder.

I guess people use it because it's easily set up with a little point and click, and because Windows is known to more people so maybe some people feel more safe when choosing something they know more about.

But generally it all just comes down to bad performance and high license costs.
I use Linux with Apache2 and PHP all the way on my free time, and only use ASP.NET at work when I am told to do so.

EDIT:

There are some discussion about it here
