Are web-services THE defacto way of implementing client -> server communication when performance is not the dominating concern?

It seems that when people want to pass data from the client to the server, almost everybody just uses web services. Is the best way to do this when you don't need the performance of straight TCP?

Yes, web services standards are the modern way to do these things.

Note that in certain environments, performance can also be accommodated. In a pure .NET to .NET environment, one can use binary transfer over TCP/IP, with little or no change to the code. Of course, this doesn't work if one or both sides are not running .NET.
