LiveCode is for verticals, of which there are many to which it is greatly suited. The new field features support those and there is a much more flexibility in there now, not least the textChanged message allowing a great deal of custom control. However we would not recommend it for developing the next Word.
There may not be full Unicode in 5.5 but we have made *significant* progress with the addition of Unicode chunks in fields and decoupling of the language from text font and styles. Those using Unicode are going to find it a whole lot easier.
