I'm against it when it puts you in the red. If you've got substantial investments to fall back onto, who cares? If you're living paycheck to paycheck, I think it's a bad idea.
I've been there before and it's not fun having loan/credit card people on your case when you're struggling as is.

I would only advise falling back on credit when you've exhausted your rainy day fund.
