I really do think this comes back to the question I raised earlier about
what the target market is coupled with whether the approach is
organizational based on individual based.
This example of CorbaMed is exactly what I would describe as the large
organizational approach. IT makes sense in that context, especially if
you have the support of in-house developers that are not considered
seconday to the the vendors. With CorbaMed, the one exception I make is
Dave's work with OpenEmed but then Dave is exceptional.
So my argument goes like this:
1) for the small scale, individually started effort CorbaMed feels like
overkill.
2) In the internet application space the 'plumbing' behind CorbaMed,
i.e. Corba itself, also finds it's best expression in well funded and
large organizational settings. And the most widespread use of Corba is
just that, behind the covers, in ejb containers or the KDE/GNOME
desktop environments.
