The main argument against this for me, as someone who has done a fair amount of conducting, is that after you have studied all the instruments and their characteristic sound in different parts of their range, I would much rather see what the player sees, and have therby a very clear sense of what the player is confronting sonically and technically. Characteristic or problematic note combinations, extremes of range, idiomatic figures, all stand out more clearly in a transposed score. The transposing to sounding pitch just takes practice, and should be a part of a conductor's or a composer's training.
