Is taking advantage of in game glitches cheating?
I say no. There are no "rules" for this games therefore cheating can occur. Is it unethical, well that's a different questions, but no I don't think it's unethical either.

As wickedlittle stated 'it's part of the game as given to us'. That means it's a feature and not a glitch so using it is not cheating. I tapped my bottom handshake and was capped at 151 SP tiles. Does that mean I've been cheated? No, it just means I'm not as talented (well patient anyhow) as others.
The big 4 have been designed differently to all other buildings and the stackable handshakes are just one difference which promotes community play.
So because the Konami code was included in tons of games, entering it to gain full power-up's or an extra 30 lives is feature, and not a cheat?
It is a feature. Konami felt that the game would be "too difficult" for most players to beat the game, thus putting in the code. I've seen that posted before on the history of the code.
It's more a fact if the player considers it cheating. I've beaten the game without the code, after I knew about/used the code. If the player is just simply trying to "beat" the game, using the code serves the purpose for that goal. The player can strive to beat the game without the code (like me), but the outcome is still the same. The game is beaten.
