Actually as I understand, Sebastian went with DBus after all... and even 
at least partly for the reasons you mentioned:

"Anyway, I don't think TCP is the right solution for now as it would 
require the introduction of permission handling. And seeing that unix 
sockets and DBus (after all, DBus uses unix sockets, too) do not differ 
that much it is probably best to stick with the well known, reliable 
DBus interface."
