The big con for ORBit, short term:
% cd /usr/src/gnome/ORBit-0.3.0
% find . -name "*.c" -exec grep "Not yet implemented" {} \; | wc
857 2613 30302
That's 857 items specified in the IDL for ORBit that are currently empty
functions.
I think long-term, with the financial backing of RedHat, and the key role
it plays in the GNOME, I think ORBit will be the premier open-source ORB.
