Does it not make sense for you to rely on Finder's built-in WebDAV support? Because if you can get away with it, it's great... I'm having visions of Dreamweaver's go-it-alone attitude towards WebDAV and how much happier I was when I could stop dealing with it by just 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 objective-c framework. And by the way, do you always answer a question with another question? Isn't that bizarre?
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.
