If it was about bots and clipper, I'd understand. Windower and spellcast though? This I don't understand.
I've said this before. Personally I've been asked a couple of times to start using spellcast. Not a nice, hey this might help kind of way, but in a you need to do is to be a good WHM kind of way. Thats how I found out my current Ls used spellcast in the first place. I've also seen criticism of several other vanilla players a few times.

As I've said, I'm not hugely against windower usage, it is still cheating, but I can at least understand why people feel the need to use it. But spellcast isn't just full gear swaps. As I understand it you don't need spellcast for that. Spellcast is about exploiting the game to make it way easier than was ever intended. Poor game design is one thing, but being able to switch to precast, wait a set amount of time, switch to midcast, and then back to idle, all at the click of one macro, is quite another.
