HSK-based Chinese learning

It seems like I've noticed a lot of people on this subreddit saying things like "I've already learned all the HSK 2 characters" or "I'm at HSK level 4", so I've become genuinely curious: How many Chinese learners out there are basing their learning and proficiency entirely or primarily on the HSK, and for those of you who are, how is it working for you?

I ask because based on my own experiences with the HSK, as well as what I've heard from others, the HSK has a heavy focus on vocabulary but not much else, and the only level that seems to really put your proficiency to the test is HSK 6, maybe also 5. And I feel like I'm not always sure how to gauge the statement "I'm at HSK level 5," because I've known people to cram vocabulary and pass it within two years, meanwhile it took me 7 years (and 7 times in China) of non-HSK-focused studying to pass it.

So, for those of you who base your Chinese study on the HSK levels, do you feel like it's a good guideline? Has it given you good results applicable beyond the test itself? Do you feel that it accurately represents your proficiency or has gotten you to the proficiency level you expected to reach for how long you've been studying?
