The point is not to reduce the number of options (everyone going back to arrays of characters) but to put the spotlight on some problems where going a level lower could help a lot.
> *Strings work fine for the vast majority of use cases
In the CKJ space (a third of the population ?) strings are "broken" in the vast majority of use cases (really, things like what format you should accept for a telephone number). It get exponentially dirty as you try more complex manipulations, and I think these are interesting problems. It helps discussing them from time to time.
