I disagree somewhat.

It definitely encourages that a first draft is created by vomiting forth - the problem with NaNo is that it doesn't do anything afterwards and most people assume that the 30,000 word piece of whatever they're left with is suitable for publishing. That's the real problem with NaNo - false advertising.

For anyone looking to get an incredibly rough and dirty and detailed outline (to be murdered in editing), I think NaNo is still a great tool.
