Pros
Pro Easy to get started
Metalsmith is built around basic concepts. All you have to do is read some files, give each to a sequence of plugins and write the the result to an output directory. While not super easy to a technological newbie, it's easy to wrap your head around if you know what you're doing.

Cons
Con Requires some technical understanding
If you are looking for something to just get you up and running quickly, Metalsmith, like Jekyll may not be the way to go. You will need to understand the concept of a build pipeline. In addition, to configure metalsmith, you will need to understand JSON, or be able to write Javascript.
