Pros
Pro Simple interface
All actions of the window manager (like opening or resizing a window, changing the workspace, etc.) are handled by a program called bspc, which communicates with bspwm over a socket connection. The config file is just a shell executable making calls to that program. This makes it very easy to write your own scripts to handle bspwm's behavior.
Know any positive aspects of this option?
Cons
Con Lacks transparency support
Like most window managers there is no built in compositing, which means no transparencies.
