I’m thinking about trying out MVC later today for a new app we’re starting up, but I’m curious if it’s an all or nothing thing or if I can still party like it’s 2006 with viewstate and other crutches at the same time…

Yes you can have your webforms pages and MVC views mixed in a single web application project. This could be useful if you have an application that is already built and you want to migrate your app from webforms to mvc.
You need to make sure that none of your webforms pages go in the ‘Views’ directory in a standard ASP.NET MVC application though. Pages (or views) in the ‘Views’ directory can’t be requested directly through the url.
If you are starting an application from scratch, there would be very little benefit to mixing the two.
