The experience of using the String to Curve node in Geometry Nodes feels broken.

While there is no actual bug, the experience of using the String to Curve tool feels broken. It is very difficult to get instance data (position, index, id, scale, rotation) into text strings. It's even hard to pass a random number into a text string.

There is so much potential for making amazing text-based procedural work in geometry nodes, but the limitations of the String to Curve node make it nearly impossible. I realize this has to do with the fact that it is field data, but this kind of thing works with other instance-based operations, so I would imagine it is possible here.

Thanks for listening to my rant.
