Nice. I added this to the wiki.

With your permission, I used these two sentences unaltered.

So flexible, that it can't deal properly with µ and ?, let alone
right to left scripting, or Chinese. Multi line text cannot be 
centered or flushed to the right. Ellipses are impossible, lines 
bear no thickness. Color space is limited to a whooping 19. The
mark at the active end of a pin relies purely on color. This 
leaves those with color blindness in the dark.

The flexibility you praise, is very narrowly defined.
