Yes the pin nailer is good for trim work! I've found that doing anything that requires nailing through the interior luann wallboard will have the pin, brad or finish nail going clean through... My "go-to" tool for adding shelves or similar has become the narrow crown stapler The bridge of the staple prevents the fastener from sailing clean through the work and produces a stronger mechanical joint.
I've found that the air tools are much less expensive that battery powered and also provide a much smaller form factor to get into tight spaces in RVs. From where I park the RV I can get to anything with a 50' air hose.
I agree on the pneumatic tools are less expensive and as I have had on board air pneumatic tools make great sense. I carry an 18 gauge brad driver, stapler . DW did a remodel and both were used a lot.
I own both battery powered and air powered tools.
Air are generally more reliable and cheaper.
However battery powered are more convenient and are cordless and hose less.
Really depends on what type of work you are doing and in what type of environment you are working. There is no one size fits all answer.
