That would mean dropping all the niceties of Quartz that lets me draw outlined text, for one.
That's not the case. The attributes you pass in - drawAtPoint:withAttributes: can include outlines (NSStrokeWidthAttributeName) in different colours (NSStrokeColorAttributeName), shadows (NSShadowAttributeName), underlines and strikethroughs, all in different colours from the main text fill.
Furthermore, the CGContextShowText... methods accept a C string argument, so they can't cope with unicode. Neither can they apply attributes in ranges. Both issues are entirely solved by NSAttributedString. This class has infinitely more "niceties" than raw Quartz text.
