I don't think any of the responses to the original poster said that doing this would break anything. He asked about the pros and cons, and he got appropriate responses. In the case of the original poster, I'd probably do the same thing as he's doing. But if I were building the application from scratch, I probably wouldn't. > It's all preferences and habits...

Or at least, it shouldn't be. What other kind of profession lets you just follow preferences and habits? If you went to a doctor to have your appendix taken out, and he told you "my preference is to use a spoon for that" would that be ok with you? Preferences and habits are fine for things that no one else will have to deal with. There's more to programming than preferences and habits - there's a body of knowledge that's been built up by the experiences and study of others.
