I'm a non-TTer standing up to say I think time traveling can be a very good thing for everyone.
People willing to time travel in their games give the non-TTing players access to things they wouldn't otherwise have. For example, if you're tired of summer, maybe it's winter in one of your friends' towns and you can play there to refresh yourself. Or maybe your Re-Tail is closed for the night, but you have a full inventory of items to sell. You can ask one of your TTing friends if you can come over and use their Re-Tail. Think about all the people playing when New Leaf first came out and how many of them wanted to change their hair styles and clothes. If it weren't for people time travelling, the non-TTers wouldn't have been able to get the hairstyle they wanted or an outfit they liked until they had been playing the game for weeks. That also goes for tools, furniture, music, wallpaper and carpet... Anything that non-TTing players would like to have without TTing, they can get from helpful time traveling players.
People willing to time travel benefit the community in many ways, perhaps the greatest way being that they quickly move villagers in and out, giving non-TTing folks the chance to fill up their town with their favorite animals and achieve a town with villagers they can love and be proud of.
The point has been brought up here that some TTers seem to think they face more persecution than they actually do. This is true, to some extent, but the existence of threads such as this one (comparing a deliberate in-game mechanism to an exploitative glitch) show that they are not entirely wrong to perceive some animosity from small parts of the community. I think I can confidently say, though, that the majority of non-TTing players feel no ill will towards those that do choose to time travel.

I knew this was a baited conversation from the moment I saw the title. *sigh*
I don't like time travelling, myself. I don't think its the proper way for me to enjoy the game. Emphasis on the "for me" part. If someone wants to time travel, they can fill their boots. In all honesty, I see more time travellers acting like they're better than the "normal" players than the other way around. But perhaps I'm just looking in the wrong places.
Duping, in my opinion, is wrong because its all-out cheating, and could potentially be dangerous to your save file. If someone duplicates, though, all the power to them. I just don't want a part in it.
The worst of the worst would be the people who go to towns just to pull up flowers, cut down trees, etc. And the people who seed and brick towns but I don't think that's much of a problem anymore.

lol for realz, imagine. XD
I've only come across it once, but I offered a villager from my TT town, (I have 2. one played "legitimately" and one I TT in), and I got this response. . . "I'm not a fan of TTers. . . "
To me, TTing is more helpful than harmful.
For example, if you wake up late and miss Joan, you can just go back a few hours, buy your turnips, then go back to the current time and continue your day. If you need to sell your beetles to upgrade your house or finish a PWP but Re-Tail is closed, just go back in time to an hour before they closed and sell.
It's really great and many people just don't understand. I hate it when people look down on those who TT because it's just not right. I agree TTing is just another way to play, so to disagree with that... Also, it's offensive when people say they hate TTers and won't play with them. I TT all the time. You wouldn't tell because I never TT a month ahead. I only TT by the hour, and only twice, by days.
Duping is not only against the rules, it's a terrible way to play. People duplicate their bells, and then what? What fun is that? I don't want to play with people who cheat. At least with TTing, it's still fun. I hope Nintendo soon finds out about this and fixes it.

Wow, rude. I'm helping others get their dream villagers by TTing. How are we worse than the entire point of it? That makes no sense.

So you're calling dupers and time travelers worse? I'm very surprised that this wasn't locked yet. As a proud time traveler I think no one is worse. I'll say this one more time. Style of play. You like duping? Dupe to the end. Time traveling? Time travel to 3075. I don't care of other people's opinions on the way I enjoy my game.
Only true cheaters are worse. But they can do what they want, so what's it to us? Seriously.

Comparing time travelling to duplicating is very offensive to those who do time travel. Duplicating items is exploiting a glitch, often categorised as cheating. Simply changing the date on your game is no where near as severe as cheating. In my opinion, what's even worse than both of those titles are people that make such drastic and uncessesary public comparisons.
Seriously, it's like asking "What's worse? Murder or benefit fraud."
