I think yes and no. vbHacker is good if you need to install vb again, you can put the hacks into a file and apply the automatically, saves ou having to perform many hacks if you re-install your board or when upgrading it, also I think the uniform text file that it creates means that all hacks are layed out the same, this stops people from getting confused. Also makes it aalot quicker for performing very quick and small hacks.
I do also agree with nakkid that by manually applying the hacks you learn more about vb and PHP, I certainly have from all the hacks I have had to manually install.
Firefly did a great job in creating this hack and could be used for just applying template edits etc to your board, i'd say both yes and no to the poll.
