I suppose os.path is simpler? It's a string and operation.

Python is all about 'attention efficiency,' which there's something to be said for. People taking the path of least resistance (instead of eating time learning the more complex/OOP pathlib) to bang out their script where they just need to move a file or something makes sense. I'm with you here, but it makes sense.


...Also, os.path has much better Google SEO, heh.
