Con
Changing the order of require statements causes unexpected behavior
Sometimes changing the order of the require statements in a JavaScript file loaded with stealjs may cause unexpected problems or even breaking the code altogether.

Support for LESS and CSS
StealJS can also load CSS and LESS files in addition to JavaScript modules.

Pro
ES6 module support
StealJs supports ES6 modules and their import and export methods without having to compile them to CommonJS require.

Pro
Support for ES6
StealJS supports transpiling of ES6 code to ES5

Supports all systemjs based plugins

Top
Pro
Supports source maps for easier debugging
Source maps allow for easier debugging, because they allow you to find the problems within the origin files instead of the output file.
See More
Top
Pro
Share the same modules client-side and server-side
Because StealJS allows you to use the same require() function as node.js, you can easily share modules between the client-side and server-side.

Pro
Tap into npm's huge module ecosystem
Using StelaJS opens you up to npm, that has over 80k modules of which a great amount work both client-side and server-side. And the list is growing rapidly.

Well documented
The RequireJS module loader is extremely well documented. So no matter whether you're a pro at JS based web development or just a newbie, you will find the documentation very helpful whenever you're stuck or just starting out. Everything is well-defined and logically placed in proper sections in a manner such that it is very easy to understand.

Top
Con
Poor handling of circular references
If you create a circular reference between two files, it will typically quietly break - the reference on one side will end up undefined.
See More
Top
Pro
You don't need a server to get started
One of the best advantages of RequireJS over Browserify is that you don't need a nodejs environment to get started. Just "require" your dependencies and it takes care of loading them. By contrast, Browserify requires a running NodeJS implementation so you can build your one monolithic file, then you can push the file to your static web server.

Top
Con
AMD spec uses globals
The global ‘require’ and ‘define’ methods make namespace collisions likely if building a 3rd party plugin. AMD loaders line require are best if you control the site.
See More
Top
Pro
Has a RequireJS optimizer
After building all the modules to be loaded, the built files can be optimized as well (minified and concatenated), even though this is a completely optional step, but doing so could be a lot beneficial for your site's performance.

Con
Can't handle CSS dependencies

Top
Pro
Lazily-loaded JS can access already loaded modules by name
Yet its run-time is still competitive if not better than Webpack's at higher density levels of modules.
See More
Top
Pro
Always running site unbundled
With other loaders, aka browserify, it isn't possible to run your site without first bundling. Require.js can load everything async which is pretty powerful.
See More
Top
Pro
Supports nested dependencies
If your project has nested dependencies, you won't have to worry about resolving them at all. Because RequireJS will do that for you.
See More
Top
Pro
Well tested
Since the RequireJS is quite popular among the dev community, that automatically means that problems get sorted out very quickly and most of the core code has already been tested.
See More
Top
Pro
AMD & CJS support
While RequireJS is mainly an AMD implementation, it can, with rare exceptions, implement CJS as well.
See More
Top
Pro
Simple
Because of its easy to understand documentation, the RequireJS module loader is super simple to use; module definitions are as easy as defining just a key/value pair.
See More
Top
Pro
Can load new modules without being recompiled
It's the one of the few modules in this category that can handle IOC-style dependency injection. The others work well for apps that have knowable dependency lists at compile time, but this is the only one that can load new modules without being recompiled.

Async loading on demand
Async loading on demand including loadings from cdns. For example it is easy to load jquery from cdn as a module. The same thing is not that easy to achieve in Webpack

JSPM is registry agnostic, it can pull packages from npm and github and is built in such a way it can support more.

Con
You need to be an expert to write shims
You can load any module. But that comes with the price: you need to find or write configs to load a particular rare module.
See More
Top
Pro
Module style agnostic
Loads ES6, AMD, CommonJS and globals.

Con
Doesn't hide complexity
JSPM doesn't try to hide complexity from the user. I.e. when some issue emerges you need understand a lot to be able to patch it or create a workaround.

Much faster than Webpack or Browserify
While Webpack and Browserify recompile the source code using Babel, jspm is the only packager that can load prebuild/minified code downloaded from the npm registry.

Pro
Bundled based on imported modules without any config
Create the bundle file without config and add only the modules imported.
See More
Top
Con
Poor bundler performance
Bundling performance is slow, though offset by the fact that bundling is not required during development, since it can load dependencies asynchronously.
See More
Top
Pro
Switch between async or sync load
With a simple command you could change between load the modules async by systemjs or sync with a bundle file.
See More

Pro
Easy install packages from npm, github or any git repository

Top
Pro
Versioned package urls
It creates a packages folders which are versioned. This makes it future proof for a time where we stop bundling all the code. In the following presentation Guy Bedford calls bundling an anti-pattern.
