Yes, this list is probably at least the other half for some... :-)

Okay, I'll agree that emotions are everywhere.  But, if we have to argue about
who's emotions are better, I think I'm gonna half to sit that one out...

Technically, my argument is away from SOAP.  My argument is that wire transport
shouldn't be part of the puzzle that a developer thinkgs about.  The dumbing
down of the interface for messaging/RPC causes people to think of problems with
less flexibility.  What that implies, to me, is that they will me worse
decisions about how to manage data integrity and coherency, because they have
few language based tools at their disposal.
