In practice, XeTeX replaces Y&Y TeX for tasks that need to done today, require system fonts, and use legacy pstricks figures. This seems to be working for many users on Windows and linux. LuaTeX is too new to be trusted with workflows developed for Y&Y TeX. Is it useful for those who would otherwise want xetex with Core Text support? -- George N.
