The point was that (if you are used to C/C++) the escape characted should give no effect when it is not needed ("ls \afile" is the same as "ls afile"), that is it should be only effective to escape special characters, including itself. (This is the case of C/C++ but not Java).

For what it's worth, I agree with you for roughly the same reasons. There's a bug filed to make AppleScript's backslash sequences act more like C's.
