Specs are quantitative aspects of the option such as the price
Pros
Pro Runs asynchronously
Warns of syntax errors as-you-type - you don't have to wait until you save your code or manually invoke syntax-checking (can be disabled).
Pro Lints as you type
Doesn't wait for you to save before linting, it lints the buffer, not the file.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Mixes responsibilities (LSP support)
While main purpose of ALE is to run linters and fixers it also supports some (not all) of the LSP calls. The developer likes this functionality but it's a somewhat popular opinion ALE could relay on a different project for this and therefore delegate some of the maintenance burden.

Out of Date Pros + Cons
Con Limited number of linters
ALE is still relatively young, and has fewer filetypes and linters supported out-of-the box than Syntastic.
