When that was "invented" and first implemented, none of these other
methods were available. Same with some of the other handlers I've written
and used for years without a flaw, suiting my purpose to a T.
I prefer my "roll-your-own" solutions (as you call them, I call them
AppleScript) because I know exactly what's happening inside, I can step
through them in SD if need be to track every variable, and they don't have
overhead required to handle every possible version or aspect which I don't
need.
I also don't like relying on a Black Box process, where I send data in,
have no idea what it's method or logic is in handling the data and just
spits out a result. Especially when that's not from a reputable software
developer I trust, or from someone with an agenda I don't agree with.
