Anything that gets people out observing is for the good. 
Do you think professional astronomers feel cheated because they don't star hop?
Having said that, I personally enjoy the 'hunt" as well as the 'find". Although I have GoTo capability on my 18", I eschew it 90% of the time. Admittedly, watching a large scope slew across the sky to a target is fun to watch!
Heard of slow cooking? Well I like slow astronomy.
