While I agree that having battle.net still online is great and all, it's anything but cheat free.
If you want to play Starcraft (mostly non-UMS) cheat free you still need to install the iCCup launcher and play there. People still try to cheat but at least there are mods there who handle these things, as opposed to no control and no consequences whatsoever like on battle.net (minus blacklist programs run by hosts).
As for other old Blizzard games I don't know so much about the prevalence of cheating.
