bspwm is a tiling window manager that represents windows as the leaves of a full binary tree.
It only responds to X events, and the messages it receives on a dedicated socket.
bspc is a program that writes messages on bspwm's socket.
bspwm doesn't handle any keyboard or pointer inputs: a third party program (e.g. sxhkd) is needed in order to translate keyboard and pointer events to bspc invocations.

Cons
Con Steep learning curve
It's a very minor con, but still exists nonetheless. The habit of having to click on windows to change what is focused is hard to get over and having to do most things through keyboard shortcuts instead of GUIs might be a little hard to get used to. It's an amazing tool after you get used it to it though.
