If I understand everyone correctly, nobody is therefore opposed to checklists per se.
Centaurus is opposed to misuse of checklists (as am I) and FlightDeck is opposed to bad checklists (as am I).
My advice to a student would be to use a good one, making their own from the POH if necessary, and use it, not as a crutch because they can't be bothered to spend some time sitting in the aircraft on the ground when the weather's too bad to do circuits, and not as a do list but as a checklist.
But most certainly to use one.
