Pro
Registry agnostic

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

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.

Pro
Module loading

Could use a module loader or use the bundle without config anything.

Pro
Don't need to bundle again with every change

A bundle is very difficult to debug in mid-big projects (20k lines). JSPM allow you to develop without generate a bundle.

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.
