DISQUS

I disagree somewhat with your assertion that Microsoft web services = SOAP. Just look at WCF web services; this Microsoft technology makes it very easy to offer up POX and JSON services, neither of which involve SOAP.

You're right. I overstated my case a bit.

The point I should have made, and didn't, would have been "It's too hard to consume web services on OS X, whatever their form. And since the Internet isn't going away any time soon, the problem is going to continue getting worse and worse for Apple developers. Contrast this to Microsoft's tools which make both creating and consuming web services downright trivial. Please deal with this, Apple!"

But I had just spent a few months writing and then rewriting my own Carbon-based SOAP handler so my mind was a bit cloudy.
