Title: Re: Choosing contacts to synch
One thing that does make categories a bit of a pain is that strictly speaking, the category property is a set, not a list. Since Applescript does not have a native set type, you need to manually program the semantics of a set when dealing with categories.

I really wish that the designers of scripting languages had looked at the Icon programming language when they designed their systems – many very good ideas in that language that I have never seen anywhere else.

A couple of points that I hope add to the discussion:

1. While it is more difficult to add or delete a category to a contact than to simply toggle a true/false property, it can be done by script, and once the script is written, it is just as easy to use as a script to toggle the property. See below.
