I know peope who are using it ... its good against double turns and
arriving transports.

Clientside automoving is good against the 2 Chariotproblem (person who
moves first will lose it) So defending is easier than. 

I don't think its cheating. Cheats are things that exploit the rules.
And clientside scripting isn't exploiting the rules.
