Author here — you beat me to it!

Hi everyone A lot of you will probably see the title of this post and immediately think “of course, just use the right tool for the job.”

But for those who don’t … here's a thing for you.

I’d really love to hear from both sides:

- Folks who haven’t — and can make the case for why it works just fine. (I know some of you are out there!)
