I was excited when I first came across a RESTful solution I could use because I was living in a world where WCF was still considered groundbreakingly simple, and there was still asmx hanging around that I was avoiding like the plague. If there's a better model out there, and an implementation I can do hands-on research with, I'm always open to new ideas. But I am usually turned off by developers who feel the need to dump on what everyone else is doing instead of just proposing their new solution enthusiastically. Just like how I enjoy hearing how other people propose to use RESTful API's semantically, but not if they're going to spend half the time just ripping on how I've been doing it successfully for years.
