Finally a movement I can get behind!

Well in contrary to the SOPA people, the SOAP people aren't trying to forcibly push SOAP on all of us with laws and treaties. There's enough alternatives. Let them use SOAP :p

Unless you have to integrate with their "mission critical" SOAP based "enterprise solution".

SOAP is no more the acronym of Simple Object Access Protocol since version 1.2

I'll admit to being completely ignorant about the benefits of using SOAP to communicate between servers. However I can say that for server->client communication it is the worse data representation I've ever had to work with and I genuinely hope we see the end of it. JSON maybe not be perfect, but it's so much better at delivering a structured data model then xml is.

That's no excuse (and if you read the article you'd know that it acknowledges this fact).
