Out of my own experience - as a CORBA beginner:

We had to integrate with a 3rd party app that used
pure virtual classes for interfacing (MS VC++).

We thought we look at wrapping this in COM or CORBA.
To get into CORBA we used MICO which had a nice tutorial.
End result: we found CORBA a *lot* easier to understand
and implement than COM/ActiveX, when using C++.

If there is anything complex about CORBA, it is because
the things you can do with it are inherently complex,
no matter what framework you are using.
