That's the whole point of this thread, I think.
And yes, it IS cheating.
It's cheating if the devs call it cheating though, and while they don't suggest people bot I'm not certain they've ever said people shouldn't bot.
But honestly, I enjoy the game more with bots for some things. A lot more.
Hauling wood is tolerable at first, but it gets a bit old after the first 2-3 thousand logs. And in general it's hard to find players young enough to hire to do that work. Not to mention hiring people in this game is a large security risk. Point being in some instances it actually improves the game, especially for overly grindy activities that bear no reward or alternative to mass clicking 10 pixels apart for hours on end.
Also: Anyone can bot now that there's public bot clients available.
