What's wrong with the Finder?

Hello,

This is a general question. Why should I avoid telling the Finder? Yvan Koenig wrote "I always do my best to never trigger the Finder in scripts ", and I have noticed this seems the done thing these days. It seems my scripting knowledge is out of date (too much non-scripting to do), can anyone tell me or post a link?

(To tell an app called "System Events" to give me the files contained in a folder seems to me anything but straightforward, files not having to do anything with any event.)

Thank you,
Marion Dickten
