Most of the Apple apps all use the Apple text editor engine, which  
supports tons of languages and scripts, because Apple products sell in  
tons of countries. Creator has to use its own cross-platform text  
engine (for obvious reasons) and is only sold in a few countries and  
supports a dozen languages or so.
