They’re 3rd party programs that read game data and use said data to display information in real time that was not intended to be easily displayed by games chosen UI.
If altering the UI on Green could be considered cheating, GINA is 100% cheating.
Like I said, you can rationalize it all you want. Most cheaters do.

They read data written to the log file. It's important to make this distinction since other programs literally do read the game data that is meant to be inaccessible. The log file is intentionally made accessible.
I don't think anyone is attempting to make the argument that altering greens forced UI is "cheating".
Extrapolating from this
thread and Rogeans response to it, my assumption is that manipulation of the log file is allowed and therefore not "cheating" (I keep using quotes because I do not agree with your definition of cheating and did not find your argument compelling) "as long as they do not do any type of automatic control/response/manipulation/macro on your character in place of manual control."
