I've done this before. If you're the sole owner of something, and especially if there will never be a designer in the mix, I think it makes sense to stick with what you are (and more importantly will be) familiar with. I once used python string substitution as a poor man's template system, because I knew that when I came back to that code months/years later, I'd still know how string formatting works w/o having to refer back to documentation.
