I like the simple design of the current MI that makes it so easy to debug over command line, support on virtually any platform without external libraries etc. Even with D-Bus one has to still send messages specific to the application and the UI developer has to learn a few new keywords. Not very different from the current state of affairs unless we have a use case that is not easy to support over the current MI. I have never used D-Bus so no idea of the status of Windows support -- I believe the reference implementation as a windows port, not sure how well maintained it is. One limitation of the current setup is lack of a security layer which makes passing passwords, keys etc not very safe. I suppose D-Bus has security features? Selva
