As someone building an Oracle Cloud interface right now, let me say that this is a true statement. The web services are inconsistently named, poorly documented, and some don't really seem production ready. The API is not consistent and in practice I have to use it differently for what seem like similar use cases. On top of that its a mix of Soap and rest in what is a half conversion that may or may not be completed.
