Pros
just like adobe's original desk-top publishing software Live Writer lets you see exactly what others will see as you process, compile, write and design. Delayed publishing clock is very useful. (Downloading/uploading when I am asleep).
Cons
no problems yet, I am getting suspicious.
Summary
Go for it, if compatible with your blog or websites.
