Why is File.Open so much better than File.Create for overwriting an existing file?

Question

This is in relation to this other SO question which asks how to overwrite an existing file.

The top answer is this:

FileStream file = File.Open("text.txt", FileMode.Create);

My answer was this:

FileStream fs = System.IO.File.Create(fileName);

As of when I wrote this question, the tally was 14-0 in favor of Open.

If votes are an indication of good versus bad solutions, this makes me wonder a bit:

Is there something I'm missing in these methods that would make it clearly that much better to choose Open over Create?

Answer 1

To me, I know exactly what File.Open("...", FileMode.Create) does because I can hover over FileMode.Create and it tells me that is will create a new file each time. File.Create("...") has no such tool tip that indicates that it will do this.

Answer 2

There only one place I know you could look for an answer to this one: Reflector

And it turns out both call new FileStream(... with a full set of arguments!
