You made the right choice for dropping WCF. I still remember the TechEd where they showed 3(ish) lines of code to host WCF... then they opened the config file!

WCF:
Make complex things possible, make simple things complex.

Web API:
An inexperience programmer can make a client in three days.... An experienced programmer can make on in ... three days. Hurray for typing client data objects manually.

Maybe Swagger (or something else) will eventually make it possible to have a decent service definition for REST APIs that can be used across languages without all that typing all the time.

Until then.... I long for the good old days of .net 1.1, where you could create a web service and corresponding client in minutes.

But of course, once we get there (again) some guy is going to say (again) "hmm, we need transactions, let's extend the protocol to support transaction flow"... and "hmm, https is very good, but we have a shared symmetric key, so let's add support for that as well"...

And down the rabbit hole we go again.
