I'm all for CI. It is extremely helpful in catching build errors very quickly. We utilize at the office. It does a great job of catching build issues early. I've found that building each checkin is a bit much, as its not unusual for a dev to make a flurry of checkins for one reason or another. So we have a timer that ticks every 2hrs which will build if there is a un-built commit, and we have the ability for any dev to kick off the build at their leisure. It's quite nice for us. All devs are constantly linked to the build server via an applet and the status is given to them via a notification in the systray. Furthermore, with a good set of unit tests, you can catch (the more important buggers imho) API breaks and regressions due to refactoring. Above that... we automagically deploy to a integration point for immediate testing as well. No bug can be marked "resolved" by a dev without confirmation on a machine *other* than their development workstation. There's a lot of pros to be had, and if its implemented in an unobtrusive fashion... very few cons.
