Fairly conventional, good tools.

By whom and why?
Is there a rational reason for the change or simply
a religious fervour for something new?

There is a strong case for "if it aint broke don;t fix it...."

Not in itself an argument for change unless the rest of your 
organisation are heavily into .NET

There is a .NET version of Python so I suppose that would 
work. Beyond that I'd need to find out more about it. But you 
can use the Dreamweaver stuff to develop ASP and .NET web 
apps too - although unless you have a specific reason there's 
no need to.

It all sounds slightly odd to me! If that's your biggest worry 
then you don't have too much to be concerned about 
IMHO. :-)
