Framing nailer for laying decking

Hi,

I have a GMC framing nailer and had high hopes of using it to install treated pine decking on to treated pine joists. I have since read every where that this seems to be a bad idea.

I plan to paint the decking and do not mind the look of the D shaped headed nails. If I can get the depth right and consistent and use the right nails, is there anything actually wrong with using a framing nailer to install decking?

All opinions appreciated.
