ASM just a volume manager? Hardly.

Name a volume manager capable of load balancing i/o.

Name a volume manager capable of moving hot blocks to the outside of the disk.

Name a volume manager that uses as little CPU.

Name a volume manager that doesn't involve adding an additional company's software into an already complex technology stack.

Name a volume manager that is free (no additional cost).

Name a volume manager that is operating system independent.

My suspicion is that your lack of experience with ASM is shading your opinion.
