I don’t think it makes a difference. I think the reason why it is frowned upon in many Yeshivahs is because like many translations some of the meaning becomes lost and people may rely on it too much and never learn how to learn on their own. So maybe its better to learn inside. Obviously for balabatim who wouldn’t be able to learn without it at all, it is a big boon.
Horaving over a tosfos for an hour trying to get pshat will get a person more schar than that same person running through all the agadita in HaRo’eh in Berachos with an Artscroll in the same time. The more you sweat the more schar you get. Adam ki yamus ba’ohel.
