Con
Only provides an output of the API
JSDoc only provides a linear output of the API and not really a visually appealing or any information other than the methods and what they do. It's very technical so it may be hard for beginners to read documentation generated by it and understand it.

Con
The name of the method/class need to be mentioned in the comments
Since YuiDoc only parses comment blocks, it requires the names of the methods to be specified there, ignoring what's outside of the comment block.

Pro
Great output
YUIDoc's default theme is very appealing. The output it renders is very readable, searchable and user-friendly.
