Is it possible to create a website and avoid the built-in ASP.NET controls with ASP.NET Webforms but still get the same functionality?

As stated on various websites, using built-in ASP.NET controls vs HTML controls does represent both an advantage but also a disadvantage, so I’m curious to find out if it’s possible to avoid the built-in ASP.NET controls but still get the same functionality as the controls would offer?

I know about MVC and I do not plan to use it, since I’m running ASP.NET through MONO.

    Take a look at ASP.NET/MVC – it doesn’t use any of the webforms controls.

    Update, seeing as MVC is not an option:

    Of course, you could just write your own controls from scratch or some third party controls.

    I don’t see any benefit in that. If you are going to use webforms, use the built in controls when appropriate.
