I'll give this to .Net though, at least their wsdl files are complete enough to generate a .Net client from.. that's about all I will give it in that regard... I can't stand SOAP, it's too cumbersome, and even more verbose in transport.
Several times, in the past couple years, I've actually written internal translation services in node.js against public soap endpoints that I can more easily consume (usually in C#/.Net)
Also, I've seen a lot of SOAP written in Java as well... Though the couple of PHP "SOAP" services I've had to consume have been the worst by far.
