People often complain about how terrible working with CORBA is; but, the reality is it's no worse than working with Xlib.
You know what people did with Xlib? They didn't throw X11 out; no, they wrote XCB to replace Xlib.
So why would anyone throw away CORBA? They should have replaced the typical ORB architecture with a new IIOP binding. I guess people just didn't think of it back then.
