One of the points of the original rant was that it was required everywhere. This isn't true, Firefox works fine without it.

- zxzax 5y agoRight, but Firefox is its own special case. I don't get that complaint in the context of GTK or Qt apps -- dbus is the native IPC there. Taking it out without a replacement is just going to break things, and any replacement has to happen at the toolkit level. It's not something that the apps would ever really want to handle, unless they're already built like firefox to be self-contained and not need IPC.
