It's not easier since auto-aim only helps you when you aren't using the controlled aim button, like when you run through a room spraying it with bullets or something to keep them behind something while you grab that rocket, spin around, use controlled aim to shoot at their feet and watch the boom.
However, if you happen to have a weapon that kills even in a chest shot, like a charged mauler, then auto-aim is VERY convenient. However, some find it cheap. Since anyone who wants to can use it, plus those who depend too much on auto aim never develop real aiming skills, which are needed the REST of the time, I find it's perfectly acceptable to use it. Generally, I tend to go back and forth depending on the type of match. If I keep it on when I really am going for head shots then auto-aim can throw me off often enough to be annoying. If I am in a match with maulers, or perhaps shotguns, then I'll turn it on.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
