Au contraire, that is exactly what cron is for. I would agree that the /etc/crontab file should not be used for user tasks, nor the /etc/cron.* directories that most distros support. However, there is also the crontab(1) command which allows per-user crontabs to be set up. The start of the man page even says, "crontab - maintain crontab files for individual users". So no, don't use the system cron files under /etc, but do use the crontab commands to manage user jobs. -- Great music, chat and even some wit.
