I think it is part of why I'm so much more productive at debugging. Give me a spreadsheet with a big list of things that are wrong and I'll bulldoze through them like a lightsaber through butter†. On the other hand, going to one of the 'proper' 'enterprisey' bug tracking systems actually reduces the visual impact, there is no list you have to search for them one by one and there is all this bondage and discipline around it. Because of this for me anyway the spreadsheet ('worse') is 'better'. †Disclaimer: it helps if you actually know the program and understand the problem that is being solved etc
