I guess that most people that use Visual Studio had my same reaction when they created their first ASP.NET MVC project: where did the Design View end up?
Not at all. Personally I never used the design view in classic web forms and when I migrated to MVC it didn’t really make any difference. And not only this, it doesn’t make any sense to use it anymore. I am very happy that there is no designer messing with my code anymore. I have enough headaches with Intellisense, if you use a designer which touches the code behind the scenes things will get messy. All I need is working Intellisense which completes the tags and ideally understands HTML5.
As far as designing web pages is concerned you may take a look at the Expression tools.
