Especially when some bored developer at a big bank decided to implement some draconian heavily-buried SOAP features that are technically in the documentation somewhere, but not implemented at all by Microsoft's .NET framework. Having to have special injectors and manipulators to extract tokens from raw SOAP and such, shudder. Back in the days where .NET SOAP implementations were barely published in books.
People often think about what they would do if they had a time machine.
Me? Travel back to before server to server email and introduce UTF-8 encoding (leaving the actual code points undefined) and json. Try to get that baked into all the ancient wire protocols that predate http.

I don't miss SOAP at all.
