That's probably a good analogy. But if you've ever used some of the tools on a
Swiss Army Knife, you'll know they're often not nearly as good as a proper
screw driver or whatever. It has quirks and bugs, and things like the file
suite -- which should be a replacement for a lot of Finder scripting -- has had
plenty of bugs over the years. And unfortunately some of the functions, like
the XML and property list stuff, don't scale well -- do anything remotely
complex and they're very slow (more due to AS itself rather than anything
peculiar to System Events).
