you can do anything with (flat|text) files, they are after all just an often inefficient binary encoding the same as any other binary blob.
The main thing you can do with them though, is tell yourself that you don't really need a spec or documentation because you can just eyeball the output, and not having to follow a spec makes things feel simple.
