One of the annoying things to me as a switcher is that it's

shuffle about irritatingly based on name.
If, for example, you're checking two backup discs and you put them
into each of two optical drives, they just appear as two copies of
a disc with the same name. IMO the physical mount point should
appear on the Finder's "Get Info" properties sheet exactly for this
reason. If I look at a pair of backup discs the immediately-visible
information on a file on those discs is something like "/Volumes/
DiscName/theFile" versus "/Volumes/DiscName 1/theFile" which is not
a heck of a lot of use unless you remember which one you put in
first...
You might be able to work from:
tell application "Finder" to URL of every disk
I agree it's a bother though. If you ever eject a removable while
Xcode has a project file from it open, be prepared for a shock when
quitting.
