True, except in the case of planning to publish your work in one of the professional journals. If that is the case, it then behooves one to determine the formats said journal requires before hand and enter data accordingly rather than have to re-do everything later.

I have no intention of changing, and I would suggest that if you are happy with the way it works for you, and the outputs you get in your reports etc. then carry on as you are. At the end of the day there is no right nor wrong way there are ways that suit some and ways that suit others but it is *always your decision*.
