Good advice.

Using an alternate cryptocurrency client would be a great way to get many people to install a hidden virus that targets Bitcoin users.

If you have a significant amount of Bitcoins, I wouldn't run other clients on the same computer until the alternates have developed trust over a longer period of time... I'm probably on the paranoid side of things though.

These new cryptocurrencies are interesting, and it will be fascinating to see how it will all play out. 

Bitcoin coins are programmable money, which can contain additional information, various labels and certain conditions for their receipt. In addition, it is a whole decentralized network for making payments without any single point for management. That is, this system can not be turned off, canceled, blocked or controlled. To prevent its work, you need to turn off the Internet and turn off the electricity on the entire planet. This gives the Crypto-currency a huge advantage over conventional fiat money.
