But why, when "time string of (current date)" is so much more readable and understandable?

I'm truly puzzled why people would use "do shell script" when vanilla Applescript can handle the job.



...mainly because I find the shell's "date" command more easily customisable and understandable than the way AppleScript handles dates. Maybe that's just me! Both ways end up with the time as a string. I guess in most situations it's a matter of personal preference.
