If you're using it on your own personal single player game, or on a server where it is permitted, feel free.
However, if you're using it on a server that has rules against using it, and you agreed to those rules, and you're caught using it anyways withing an hour of joining the server, then I think you're an idiot.
So basically:
Personal use / Permitted servers - Feel free
Servers with rules you agreed to and used anyways - Get lost
If you want to play on Creative, why even join a survival server that specifically states "NO XRAY"?
Still doesn't stop them from using some sort of security software in their game to check to see who is tampering and what for. There should be a 3 strike rule on survival hackers, the final revoking the persons premium account. If modding in creative as I do, who cares? there are no rules to be broken in creative.
Simple, the xray mod makes it easier to find underground caves and mine shafts.
Are you kidding me that is way too drastic for just xraying, and on your own world too. Mojang doesn't want to limit how players play the game. As long as it doesn't harm anyone, xraying doesn't really matter
There's nothing controversial about it. It's wrong if it's against the server's rules.
If you're playing single player, it's your business whether you cheat or not. You only cheat yourself, but if it makes the game more fun for you, have at it.

Truthfully, I'd take it a step further and say if you don't want to play the game, then why are you playing the game? I don't quite get the point of loading up a game about mining and not mining. I mean, it's your money and time. But it does seem a bit redundant. That's like popping Super Mario Brothers into your NES and just using a gamegenie fly cheat. Why?
If someone is using it to cheat then they're just cheating themselves and the other players (if on a server). It takes away a lot of fun and sense of accomplishment. However! I can understand someone using it when making a map to share, to look at redstone they've placed or something else.
That would really suck. 99% of mods would be rendered useless.
Not to mention the fact many people would stop playing Minecraft altogether, as I'm sure there are a lot of players out there that still play Minecraft due to mods.
The chance of that happening is extremely low though, as they are working towards the mod API with every update.
Since I'm the only one in my world (at present), I figure it's all right to X-ray since it doesn't affect anyone else.
However, the 1.7.2 update destroyed my glowstone X-ray machine, just in time for me to record its first use on video. Nice going there. Probably a sign from above to not do any X-raying.
Of course it's wrong. It ruins the point of mining and pretty much ruins the point of survival. If you're going to have the ability to pinpoint all the materials you need, why not just play on creative? The only reason I can see a person using X-ray is if they are on a survival server and they want to cheat to get ahead of everyone else, thus obviously making it wrong to be doing. If you're not on a server, creative would obviously be the better alternative.
hell yeah! I got banned from a SMP and now i see how i was a idiot! i Don't think you should x-ray even in singleplayer. That takes all the meaning of the game.

What more is there to it?

My computer specs:
Intel Core i5-4690K, Asrock Z97X Killer ATX Mobo, Corsair Vengeance 16GB, Hyper 212 Evo, GTX 1060, EVGA 750Watt PSU, 840 Evo 120GB SSD, 1TB WD Blue, NZXT H440 (black/red).
What would be there to stop modders from removing said security software?
If it's a Surv server then definitely yes.
If it's a creative server then no,I don't think it's wrong.
I only use it to make sure the redstone in my server is all wired up and good to go.
It just ruins the game for everyone
If its used in multiplayer: Yes
Click them or they will click you

click on my eggs
OR YOU WILL DIE
Controversial? LOL well I see it two ways
It's FINE if you do it on any place that allows it like some servers or in single player.
It's NOT FINE if you use it on a server that does not allow it.

Maybe glass blocks?
