Default TL 494 in linear mode?

Hi all!
Experimenting with SMPS power supplies I've came with a -not so- crazy idea: can you use a TL494 in a linear mode power supply?
I mean, you have already 2 interconnected op amps, one for voltage, one for current monitoring, and a nice band gap voltage reference.
Use the feedback output to drive a npn external transistor, witch in turn drives a power pass and you've done!
Will it work? I don't see no drawbacks here...
cheers!
