Constantly torn between java.io.File + Kotlin extensions and java.nio.file.Path/Files without. Wish I wouldn’t need to make a choice between better API usability and better file system implementation.

Which extensions on Path do you miss the most?

[pniederw]

@ilya.gorbunov Hard to say. java.nio.file.Path/Files is just much less convenient to use than java.io.File + Kotlin extensions/APIs. Filed: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-19192

Part of it is extension methods vs. static methods, but that’s not the whole story.

[pniederw]

Another example is that Kotlin extension methods create missing target dirs automatically.

Also readText and writeText, and others.
