I think that puts you in a rather small minority of scripters --
scripting
apps is pretty much the raison d'etre of AppleScript.
Granted. Furthermore, in our context we would often compute a file's
path before knowing whether the file exists or not - pretty the
opposite of usual situations.
[...]
posix paths are lovely, because, well, you just manipulate strings,
specifying a file's container folder is a mere regular expression,
etc.
I don't understand this. Are you saying you can't use regular
expressions
with HFS paths?
Well, regular expressions make strings into strings, not aliases into
aliases or furls into furls, do they?
Regarding HFS paths, maybe I don't understand exactly what you're
saying, but they are not an option - not a safe and easy one, say - in
configurations where it's allowed to have several mounts with the same
name.
