Not considered a crutch at all--it is a tool.

Foiling speeds cooking time, helps lock in moisture, and has a dozen other benefits.

Do some reading about "3-2-1" for recreational (fall off the bone) ribs and foiling at about 160 degrees or so for Butts, Briskets, Chuck, etc.
The RoadMap at the top of Q-Talk has the "classic" threads.

Lots of material on the site.

Some use foil a lot, others a little.
Some foil individual parts, some foil a "pan" of stuff.

But, it is a tool--not a crutch.
