Rhyming dictionaries are useful, though most have flaws. I have always suspected that those who disdain their use either don't write rhymed verse in the first place, or resort to painstakingly putting each phoneme in turn in front of the rhyme sound--definitely no better than a rhyming dictionary, and the do-it-yourselfer gets no points from me for reinventing the wheel. Also, the rhyming dictionary can be useful for words that have more than one syllable. If left to one's own devices, one or two syllable words is all one is likely to come up with--even when inspired.
Finally, on what basis do those who disdain the rhyming dictionaries do so? I don't think most rationales would survive close inspection.
