Actually, I'd agree that wherever possible, it's much better to use a tripod - including fast moving objects (where it may be just using the tripod as a weight rest - the shot will still benefit).
However, I would also suggest that there will be occasions where using a tripod may not be possible - insufficient time to set up, inaccessability, disallowed (National Trust! Grrrrr!). So, taking shots without a tripod (and I'd throw in using a monopod as an additional skill) will ensure that you've covered all eventualities and are proficient in them!
