I don't quite agree. Plain Type 1 fonts (PFAs) can obey any *glyph*
encoding, and are not restricted to using well-known character
encodings. Character to glyph resolution happens before this, and if
you control the whole rendering system, there is nothing wrong with
using PFA.
I would tend to agree with you in the particular case of
general-purpose fonts, although I still dislike the complexity and
lack of structure of OpenType -- perhaps merely a sign of my lack of
understanding, though.
