Yes, I have, and I find that interleaved text output is
A) Faster
B) Easier to debug

Consider the following:

<% option explicit

dim i

response.write "<table summary=""Sample Table"">"
response.write "<caption>Sample Table</caption>"
response.write "<thead>"
response.write "<tr>"
response.write "<th>Header1</th><th>Header2</th><th>
Header3</th>"
response.write "</tr>"
response.write "</thead>"
response.write "<tbody>"
for i = 1 to 10
response.write "<tr>"
response.write "<td>Column 1 - data" & i & "</td>"
response.write "<td>Column 2 - data" & i & "</td>"
response.write "td>Column 3 - data" & i & "</td>"
response.write "</tr>"
next
response.write "</tbody>"
response.write "</table>"

%>

I made an obvious error in the markup. It would be a lot easier to find
if the markup is interleaved with the ASP coding.

For that matter, it seems to me that just as one separates content from
presentation, one should separate markup from code.

Here's some interesting reading to support this:
