Visual Studio Web Site Project (not Web Application) support

Question

I just realized that I can't see the website project template in Visual Studio 2010 (Visual C# > Web).

I would like to see websites die (for many reasons, mainly not having a .proj for msbuild). Did this in-fact happen? Has VS 2010-2012 dropped support for websites? Is there an official announcement somewhere confirming (I looked)?

Shame on any project using web site template. On a side note, have you seen any "products" come out of the box as a website?

Answer 1

Actually website is not project. When you go to File -> New, you can choose between project and website. It's the same in VS 2010 and 2012.

And actually I think that website is ideal for small and simple site.
