Not so sure about this, I think it depends on how frequently you have to do that task. If you're doing it every day or even every week you could potentially be saving a huge amount of time and effort by using a tool that does the job well.

Comparing it to the notorious abuse of excel spreadsheets in finance is not doing the argument any favours.
