I don't think I've ever seen anybody else suggest using fixed-length strings in place of unbounded strings. I don't think I'd suggest that either. It's like suggesting C++ folks use c-strings in favor of std::string if they can. Unless dynamic memory is a problem, why care? I have only heard good things about Dmity Kazakov's library though, so if you need UTF-8 stuff, that would probably be the way to go.
