Is taking advantage of in game glitches cheating?

Well, I'm sorry, but you're incorrect. Part of the definition of a glitch is that it's unexpected, unpredictable, or sudden. Graphics glitches happen to a lot of players, but they don't all happen the same and they are not predictable. Some players got their level rolled back after the update, and they got to level up again and get two donuts. That was a glitch; it couldn't be controlled, it was a bug in the program, and it didn't happen to everyone. Since everyone can stack handshakes on certain things (provided they have the means to generate the necessary item) it is a predictable feature of the game. I really don't understand tagging a useful feature with a word that literally means "malfunction" or "problem" and accusing anyone who benefits from it of being a cheater.

They are not mutually exclusive.

Nope, sorry, I think you're incorrect again. Building a section and stacking handshakes on a section are related things because you must have the first to have the second, but they're different processes. The stackability isn't a glitch just because the boardwalk section can't be built due to other bits of code in the game.
You could still stack handshakes on your farm, channel six, or stage if you have one. You aren't excluded from stackability entirely, you're just prevented from building a new boardwalk section. (I am too, by the way.)

The racetrack glitch was repeatable. It was fixed a lot sooner than the tile glitch because it had a far greater impact on the game. Use it up while you can, whether you agree with me on the definition of the word glitch, I'm betting this "feature" won't last forever.
