Nobody real deals with it and it's supported by old fashioned carriers?

Please, don't thak this as an insult, but you need to qualify that your
background obviously doesn't include any carrier-class bulk VoIP
termination whatsoever when you make broad statement like that.

Millions and milions of minutes of voice and fax traffic each day are
carried over h.323, for end users that don't even know they are using
VoIP, and in most cases don't even know what VoIP is.  Minutes handled
by bold "old" and new companies.

Now if you wanted to say that it's not in vogue for soft PBXen and key
systems to support h.323, I'll buy that.  But I'm going to guess that
voice traffic over SIP is a mere fraction of voice traffic over h.323 on
any given day.
