No, it's not recommended at all. I think initially the developers (aplikatika or Neil) hadn't actually used Espruino much on any other boards first, so they didn't really see how people were using it already.
Unfortunately that meant that some documentation (which I think is now gone) gave that as an example, and then other places online made tutorials, blog posts and videos about it and people are learning from those.
There was a conversation on Gitter and someone said they didn't want to use D0/etc because it was confusing when NodeMCU have used D0/etc with completely different numbers... I'm not sure if that's really such a good reason (We could add a
NodeMCU.D0/etclike is done for Nucleo.So yeah, I'm not really sure how to stop people. I guess if I made some getting started video then people might watch that instead though.
