[1219766316] DBus is a pile of shit

DBus is a pile of shit. Tell me one thing that DBus does well. It is a huge piece of shit hack. If the Sussman were alive right now he would be fighting against DBus.

Not surprisingly the same people who worked on GNOME created DBus. The DBus C API is such a pile of shit that they have to get someone else to wrap their API to make it usable. But of course they make it into a DBus-GLib which still fucking sucks because you have to use GObjects and shit.

Not to mention the fact that there is no useful documentation of using either of the DBus APIs, and it seems that nobody has actually used those APIs, probably because they are total utter shit.
