Compared to H.323 SIP is cobbled together by a couple of monkeys who  
only knew how to speak HTTP and had heard of a planet in a galaxy far,  
far away called Telefonis where people talked to each other using tin  
cans.

Calling protocol names is not productive. Separating media from the  
signaling might theoretically by a "correct" concept, in practice  
there's much to be said for combining them. Every time I hear someone  
call anything "not professional" I get the feeling it must be  
something very good because this person feels threatened by it and the  
net result of that statement is the opposite -)
