Using a good tool for the wrong problem makes it the wrong tool.



It seems to work fine for them. And with the apparently simple invoices, why bother making things more complicated by using a more complicated tool? If the invoices were complex, I'd agree that this method might be the wrong tool, but for simple invoices, it seems like a lightweight and fairly straight forward approach. So it can be considered a right tool for the job.
