I'm writing a networked program which as a side function hash a chat client. Would it be overkill to use distributed objects to implement the chat capability? As opposed to say, lower level bsd sockets and NSFileHandles (as in macdevcenter's RCE example).

Pros in favor of a DO implementation:

- Great way of abstracting some messy details.

Cons:

- Limited platform ability. i.e., Your system can only chat with other cocoa DO capable systems.
- Limited protocol suite. i.e., Cannot easily support existing IM protocols such as AOL, MS, ICQ, etc.
