True. I'm sure the backend for any system like this (cron or something
custom) isn't all that different. So I would not be all that opposed
to the above. And I'm sure there are some hardcore Unix types who like
the cron syntax. Though in my case I even use VIM for all my editing
and have used Linux for over tens years and still dislike cron.
