Are we still creating asmx based web services or the world has moved to WCF?

Thanks all ..going by the links it seems that WCF is the way ahead at least for now & the learning curve is truly justified.

Webservice is still widely used . But depends on the project requirement or demands.
WCF do give more in terms of flexibility , different Hosting techniques, Protocols etc.

Yes, Atleast people who're using below .NET 3.0.

And some people(who has .NET 3.0/+) don't want to do much things again using WCF. How? check this article
Migrating ASMX Services to WCF Services[^]

You could find more details in web.
