The context of the picture is also important.

If you are talking about commercial work, working on a deadline, anything goes as long as you reach the desired result by the deadline. In that case, only the final image counts - not how it was made.

If you are talking about personal, creative work, time is less of a constraint and the pressure to take shortcuts is less important. In that case, both the resulting image and the creative thinking are important, but not necessarily what tool was used.
