I agree. I only went out and used carbon to handle trashing files
because I needed to use carbon to move files and copy files (which also
means finding a unique name in a directory), so learning FindFolder to
find and create a trash directory was not that much more work.
But, I'm still curious exactly what gets lost by using NSWorkspace. If
its only "Comments", why worry? (except for that one adamant customer
that uses comments, I guess).

If you're intending to trash the file, that's where I personally make
the tradeoff... It may sound cruel and heartless, but if they're 99%
of the time not recovering the file, and then 99.99% of the time not
recovering the file to get comments or a creation date from it, then I
will not be worried about the other 0.01% of the time.

Won't using NSWorkspace cause some information to be lost when
performing any operation on HFS files? Testing this idea, I only
notice that "Comments" from Finder's info window gets lost and that a
copy operation will change file creation date.
Is anything else changed/lost?

What about NSWorkspace? I'm surprised nobody at least suggested
this...
