Like Dave, I tend to lean towards doing things in pure AppleScript,
without telling other applications like TextWrangler and Finder unless
absolutely necessary. Not only is this usually faster to execute, but it
also brings with it less potential for error, because when you involve
other applications, there is always a chance that user intervention can
spoil your plans during execution.

Oh come now - he doesn't know much about AppleScript at all. Cut him
some slack, Dave.
