With the current state of the game, yeah. It's hard to conclusively argue that it's wrong to use them. There's no real competitive scene yet, so there's not much to be gained from using them or lost from not using them. Fact is, short of assisted aiming or piloting macros, anything you can macro to a key can be done without much effort with normal key mapping.
I maintain that it's questionable territory when playing competitively though.
As for the TAG macro, I have the left shift mapped to weapon group 6, and TAG always mapped to weapon group 6. That way I can easily hold it down for as long as I need.
I played with a group in the RHOD tournament for a couple of rounds until we bowed out - I didn't use AHK myself but I wouldn't have had any issues with any of the teams we played against doing so. Those matches come down more to positioning and alpha striking than they do to sustained DPS, so I don't think stuff like the UAC macro would help anyway. Toggling TAG on and off is functionality the devs have said they're investigating as well, so I wouldn't have an issue with that one either (again, rarely use TAG myself either).
To those that still have an issue with AHK scripts even after the devs have said they're ok with it, why not just get groups of 16 together and sync drop against each other? I can understand wanting to play the game a particular way, but if the way you want to play isn't the way everyone else does you're going to wind up disappointed unless you do something about it. Posting calling people cheats for doing something the devs have said is fine isn't going to get the outcome you want.
