In your eyes, don't MS Windows 2k/XP/2003, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, Java,
Plan9, BeOS, MS Office, StarOffice, Gnome, KDE, Mozilla, MS IE, ICU,
Perl, Python
and zillions of other programs (including OS', development tools,
libraries) count as significant?

Without Unicode, multilingual features (as well as 'monolingual
features' as well) of all the above
would be far far worse than what they're now.
