No. Very much not. DotNET stream writers are far more flexible and
easy to use.
Also, you can use them to write binary data instead of text based
data. There are even specialized writers for XML formatted data.
But if possible I try not to bother with readers or writers when I can
get away with the IO.File shared functions.
