I agree completely. They work fine, reliably and amazingly quickly, as long
as you know what you're doing. We'd be doing fine if all of AppleScript
worked as well.
I recently found a rather obscure bug, in that 'read until... using
delimiter' didn't work over date data types, but since all dates are 8 bytes
the workaround was pretty simple. I have never found a problem with reading
or writing strings.
