I don't understand the problem with the client apis. If you're working with .net, you should have access to an xmlhttprequest library. Building and reading xml to talk to a REST api shouldn't require a specific API library. Unless of course you're just looking to avoid that step altogether and would rather just point, click, drag, and drop and get on with it.

REST is too heavy for my needs. It generates a lot of traffic.
