I would hope the OP would reconsider his criteria for PRO/CON in relation to personal privacy.
My feelings on this are in line with what Stealth stated, there are many devs out there that have quite insidious intentions. So by remaining anonymous you are not really able to look into the history of that dev. Also keep in mind there was a very short POW period, which we have no idea if the devs got the majority of those mined coins.. At least it seems like a more honest launch than many.
