Avoiding the Finder is a very good choice, IMO. We've had Apple people
recommending it here and in dictionaries for a long time, but the message is
seemingly falling on deaf ears. If Finder scripting ever dies completely, as
opposed to limping along, I hope we don't get the same hue and cry as
happened with the date changes -- people have been warned.
My personal choice would probably be shell commands, but maybe that's a case
of bad memories and suspicion of apps where lots of stuff in the dictionary
doesn't work.
Of course there are still some things that the Finder can do and system
Events can't, so sometimes it's not a matter of choice.
