This isn't the place to argue this point, so I'll just say I find that 
to be a bizarre opinion.  As a computational linguist, I use Unicode 
every day, with Latin, Arabic, Tamil, Bengali, Hangul (Korean) and many 
other scripts, and have not experienced problems with the Unicode 
standard not being implemented.  Occasional bugs, yes, but no more (and 
perhaps less) than the bugs I find in other software.  It would be 
simply dreadful to go back to the pre-Unicode days.
