Implementing the CDC device class with AVR-USB is slightly outside the specs. It may therefore be unreliable on some computers. The driver you mentioned may change the USB timing and thus cause the CDC implementation to fail, although it's otherwise completely OK.

If you have a choice, I would recommend that you use AVR-Doper with avrdude in HID mode.
