Con
Configuration files are bloated and long
Pint's configuration files are the same as Grunt's. Meaning that they are long and hard to read, especially for new users.

Uses jobs to prevent bloated build files
Using Grunt in complex projects can lead to extremely bloated build files. Pint resolves this issue by introducing Jobs, a job is basically a set of Grunt tasks that are related to a particular build step. Using this method the build code remains organized in different job files, for example one for js compilation and one for CSS preprocessing. When the build process is started, Pint starts running these job files which in turn build the project. Here's a sample Pintfile.js further demonstrating the concept of jobs in PintJS.

Faster builds with built-in concurrency
Every job in a build process may depend on something before it. A simple example would be copying of the minified files to the dist directory, this task needs to be performed after the compilation is complete. What Pint does is that it lets the user declare the dependencies within each job in a dependsOn array. Hence whenever PintJS starts the build process it first generates an internal dependency model so that the build could be parallelized by spawning up new Grunt processes wherever possible resulting in the complete build process being concurrent (and really fast!).

Takes advantage of Grunt's huge plugin ecosystem
Pint is built on Grunt, so it can use Grunt's plugins. Grunt has a plugin for pretty much any need with over 4000 plugins currently available.

Simplified build lifecycle
In some projects there are tasks that aren't related to the build at all. These can be simple tasks such as pulling the GIT SHA or reading the package.json file into variables. With Pint these additional tasks can be defined in the build file too. This is made possible by providing users with an initializr and a finalizr; inside the initialize callback, tasks such as generation of a list of test files or reading the package.json file can be defined, while in the finalize callback users can define moving of the build files or pushing the source maps to their server.
