Lots of people say that, but I don't think it's true. Obviously as the maintainer of a CORBA implementation I'm biased, but take a look at some examples of code that implement SOAP clients and servers and compare it to similar CORBA code. Especially in Python, the SOAP code tends to be incredibly verbose and complex, and the CORBA code really small and simple. My recommendation would be that for simple communications where performance isn't important use XML-RPC; for more complex cases where performance is a bit more important but you don't need anything except Python, use Pyro; for cases where performance is particularly important and/or you need cross-language communications, use CORBA.
