Nah, this is working backwards. I've seen this dynamic plenty of times before: someone gets comfortable with some workflow in a limited context, and try to force into larger, more sophisticated context where it doesn't work as well rather than accepting that there are better tools for the job.

Nothing wrong with putting this stuff out there I guess, but if anybody I was working with was doing anything like this, we'd be scheduling a few sit-downs where I explain the proper way of handling this stuff and spare them the headaches of trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.
