Requires that you do all the annotation yourself
ROBODoc requires that you do all the annotation so that the parser can derive the documentation. While other documentation generators will derive a little bit more documentation even if you don't add any annotations.

Cons

Pro
Provides quick fixes
Eclipse with JSDT provides you with quick fixes every time a warning or error is raised by the IDE. This feature is particularly helpful at places in code where errors were caused by the programmer just being a little "lazy", such as missing out the + sign between two operands or a variable being out of scope.

Con
Uses a lot of memory
Eclipse hogs a lot of memory, although this can be controlled by the IDE start-up ini file.
See More
Top
Pro
Smart Code completion
Just like all other IDEs, Eclipse offers you inline code completion (even with any external JS libraries added to the project).
See More
Top
Con
Plugins can be unstable
Though there are plenty of plugins to choose from, they aren't always reliable. Some aren't maintained, bug fixes can be slow, and you may need to download plugins from multiple sources.
