Yeah, fair enough! I wasn't necessarily disagreeing

Oh boy

The problem with bad code (who/what ever writes it) is usually one of reliability and maintainability. So it's great for one-time apps you don't care about maintaining. Otherwise you can still use it, but need to keep a close eye on what it's doing
