It sort of is, though. Nietzsche in particular didn't actually portray nihilism as a good thing, but just an inevitable stage in human development, which could be either very good or very bad depending on what kind of values system (if any) arose from that nihilism. There are in my opinion some similarities between the direction we're heading and what he called "The Last Man", which was basically the worst possible outcome of nihilism.
Of course there is. I was just trying to point out that the views on it, even from the perspective of nihilists, isn’t necessarily that nihilism is a “good thing”.
