Umm, not exactly. Remoting over http is quite firewall friendly, and has excellent performance (just a tad slower than the tcp channel) The thing that's really unfriendly is attempting to use events / callbacks over remoting - don't do that, no matter how tempting it looks. But it's not really fair to consider this a disadvantage, since web services don't offer such a capability at all. Also, since you mentioned passing business objects around... Biz objects serialized by value work great over http remoting. I am a big fan of biz objects myself and wouldn't even touch datasets except for a prototype.
