I would maybe say that it is almost assuredly one of the most featureful and widely used layout technology. But I'm not convinced it's the most powerful, flexible, or even advanced.

There is a reason anyone building things like visual editors, spreadsheets, et al tend to drop into lower level rendering technologies.
This is probably coming to CSS in the coming years.

The only other thing missing after custom colour profiles is a proper text justification algorithm, although, for many, it's not so important because people are already used to reading ragged text.
