Relatively, yes.  In reality though, the old dbus interface was very 
much like a library, so that was also very simple.

More or less.  The hardest part is figuring out what the structure is 
and what the code does.  With regard to python, there is a higher 
barrier to entry on C Glib programming for python programmers.  A person 
in this position actually has an easier time writing from scratch.
