It's not only ugly, it's limited too. Not every useful D-bus request can be performed with dbus-send.

so how is this needed in contractor? Last time I checked this was a commandline interface and not dbus?

Exposing app capabilities over D-bus is the cleanest way I can think of. D-bus is designed for this, so we should support calling things over D-bus.
"dbus-send" is what converts command-line stuff to d-bus calls; it's a hacky workaround until we have native D-bus support.
