Unless you're using a framework like .NET where everything is done for you, SOAP is just too much trouble and complexity for simply data exchange. Especially if you're trying to consume it from Javascript or Flash.

I'm not sure how much of the "REST" in the pie chart is true REST, but POX and POJ is so much simpler and easier for cases where you don't need a full blown strongly-typed web services interface.
