It's not true because the world is not black and white. Not everyone who likes to save time with vBHacker is someone who doesn't like to learn hard things. I love PHP-oriented challenges. They thrill me. That doesn't mean I ALWAYS have to do things the hard way, though. Some of these hacks are simple...I could do them myself. I won't learn anything from installing them by hand. So why should I?

Fact of the matter is that you're linking using vBHacker with not knowing PHP, or with not wanting to learn more of it, or with being lazy...and that's not true. It is a timesaver...for both beginners and experts. I know my way, basically, around vB...and I use it. Your four reasons (two for YES, and two for NO) therefore do not apply to me...which means they're not accurate. I'll bet there are others they don't apply to, too.

FireFly may know more about vB than any of us, and he uses it...and not just because he made it either, IMO.

how can you learn PHP (even if you look at the text file after) if you didnt code it with your own hands?

Two things:

1 - You can learn PHP without having to ALWAYS do everything the long way. I know PHP. But according to your voting guidelines, if I like to use vBHacker now and then, I don't really want to help people or learn more about vB.

2 - Not all hacks are something we can learn from. If anything, the experts are the ones who would use it more, because they're the ones who won't learn as much from installing them in the first place.
