'Rewrite' was the wrong word. If I work with plist files and 'defaults' sometimes it happens that the plist file is converted to binary format. That's why I wrote such a small bash script to open my plist always in XML. On the other hand I find it quite convenient to ask the Mac whether the Property List Editor is installed and if yes use it.
The files are in the old plist format, not xml format, because the xml format is not editable by humans, in my opinion. And when you have a wonderful editor like TM, then you want to be using it for editing files ;) Of course, YMMV, but I find the PLE not convenient at all when it comes to editing plist files.
