Yeah, we are using that as well. It's nice because it hooks up to your Django admin and people with the right permissions can reschedule stuff.

I don't see any use case for Plan, it's just complicating an easy task.

I can see one use case for this family of tools: if the same script could generate either crontab files or launchd agents, so it could generate scheduling files for MacOSX, where crontab is discouraged.

MacOSX uses launchd as its crontab, but it retains the crontab interface.
