Complicated question. For those who take pride in figuring deer patterns out, strategically setting stands between food sources/bedding, working the land, etc. the answer to this question is probably "no". There's always a segment of people who excel in something who aren't very fond of anything coming along with helps level the playing field. For traditionalists, the answer for them is probably "no" as well because that wasn't the way it used to be done.
On the other hand, for the hunter who doesn't have time to do everything mentioned above, legalizing baiting has helped him/her to have success in harvesting deer because it's obviously a game changer. Also, baiting legalization has also changed the game for the hunter who only has 2-10 acres to hunt - now lack of bedding, food, etc. isn't as much of an issue as before.
For me, baiting has allowed me to be more successful because we're able to hold our deer more successfully. As a leasee, I don't control the habitat of my land... and up until recently the majority of our land was mature timber stands. In years those stands produced acorns, our deer stayed on us and in years when there weren't acorns, our deer would leave. Baiting changed that cycle and helped us avoid the years when we wasted lease monies. Early in my life, I can recall when this same discussion was held in regard to planting food plots. Old timers were very resistant to accept the idea of sitting in a house and watching a field instead of being in the woods or letting dogs run deer by them. Yet, just a few decades later I don't know of anyone who is against the idea of food plots. Will see what a couple more decades reveal about baiting.
