I went neutral on this. I mainly use the line tool for what I call "novelty art" I do on MS Paint, but at the same time, I do use it for serious purposes.

Depending on what you are doing with it the results can be good or bad. It is just another tool to use to draw, there is no "cheating" in art really.

This.
"Using the line tool is cheating" sounds like someone who's jealous of digital artists because their art looks better or something. It's a tool. The line tool can't make good art for you. A good artist makes good art.
I freehand most of my art because I think it looks better, bit I also use the circle/line tool a lot for mapping out my art. I would imagine that my heads would be much more oddly shaped without these tools, especially with a mouse. It's different with a pencil and paper and then scanning my resulting art.

It's a drawing style. Some anime artists do the same thing. I feel like it allows you do do a lot more with facial expression because you don't have to worry about the hairstyle you chose.

Good point it's just like saying if using the line tool is "cheating" , then using a ruler or protractor is "cheating"

I think the line tool is useful in order to make a graphic look good.
