>Only issue I would even partially agree about is lack of Unicode support, but a few workarounds exist for that.

Oh, I'm using them. But there's no solution for having mixed text in an editbox. Imagine selling an app to some border area, where they use cyrillic and arabic, or a scientific article where the quoted authors' names are written in their native scripts in parentheses - what would you do if you had to have japanese, armenian and cyrillic in the same editbox? No way, Jose.

Being limited to windowses is not a showstopper, it's just a waste of time (that it takes to overcome various things which worked once but now don't etc). But as the kid you quoted said, "this is how I make money".
