I believe that I’m entitled to my own opinion in the matter - it’s not FUD at all.

Since I started using Julia, I found the string support to be buggy, slow, not well tested, limited in functionality, and hard to use.  
I can easily show you many examples off all of those problems.  
I have been and still am trying to address those issues.
