Does it not make sense for you to rely on Finder's built-in WebDAV

mounting my share in Finder.
It depends on what the OP wants to do. WebDAV isn't a file server
protocol, even though it often gets (mis)used as one, and there are a
lot of uses for it that don't involve accessing a filesystem. CalDAV
is one example, and there are also schema for using WebDAV to access
email on a server (I think Yahoo! mail supports this.)

Absoutely not--that wouldn't make sense if I was looking for an

Since you're not the original poster (nor have you contributed to this
thread earlier) I don't see why you feel entitled to jump in with a
decision that Kyle's answer is inappropriate for William's question.
Your response also shows that you don't understand what Kyle is
getting at: in some cases people do use WebDAV merely for accessing
files on a server, in which case using the Finder would be a good
alternative.
Answering with a question is entirely appropriate, as it politely
indicates that your answer isn't definitive, but is providing more
information for the original poster to come to his/her own conclusion
with.
