I don't agree. Most companies are switching to it for all their typefaces, 
given that it's 100% compatible on every system, and is not harder to make. 
I've seen a tendency on FontShop that a lot of the new fonts get released, or 
re-released for OpenType.

Yes, S&R can be useful in those cases where the feature is not available. I 
just don't want it to be taken for granted after such S&R features would be 
added.
