It depends on what you are doing.  I completely concur that in many  
(and perhaps most) cases your script is ideal, especially when one is  
packaging a program for distribution.  However, although your  
packaging makes it easier to run the binary from the Finder, it makes  
it less convenient to run it from the command line, and in cases where  
for whatever reason you want to easily run it from the command line  
(which I have run into in practice) the EnableGUI module is very  
helpful.

Cheers,
Greg
