Pros
Pro Best balanced version of D&D
Other versions of D&D tend to use a "balance over time" system, where some character types are weaker to start with and stronger later on, and vice-versa for others. However, this works poorly if your game doesn't continue for a long time, or starts with PCs already at a higher level. 4th Edition is the first - and so far only - version of D&D to do a good job of making characters similarly powerful at all levels.
Cons
Con Entirely Combat Focused
Virtually all of the game's customization options are based around combat. There are very few utility options for non combat situations, which leaves other styles of play in the dust.
