CORBA and SOAP are things that must not be named... The horror is too real. Of course, Dbus is better than CORBA and SOAP, almost anything is.

How old is CORBA, again? And how crazy is SOAP?

It isn't better than those categorically. But it's definitely better than them for building a multi-process desktop.

"better" depends on what you are trying to do.

Of course CORBA and SOAP are considered old and horrible now, 15 years later. But currently-popular stuff is in many ways equally unsuited to coordination of local desktop processes, because it's not designed for that.
