Pros + Cons

Pro
 Sharp, flat, and fresh

All icons look pleasing, especially with the Arc theme.
Comment

Pro
 Familiar

Used on Lubuntu and BunsenLabs, for example.
Comment

Pro
 Active development

Comment

Con
 Under GNU GPL3

This limits the use elsewhere.
Comment

Con
 Contrast issues / No border around icons

It makes the the fast and makes it simple to add more icons(since you can simply scale them) however the contrast is lost in some situations.
Comment

Con
 No Ideas

It just copies the icon-syle from a different system.
Comment

Con
 Just another material style copy

Comment

Con
 Lacks icon for backintime

Backintime tray icon doesn't display on the panel because Papirus lacks the icon.
Comment

Pro
 Nice cohabitation with default icons

When an icon isn't provided by the theme, you cannot really spot it as this theme is quite close of the default with still a subtle and classy look and feel.
Comment

Pro
 Under GNU GPL3

Based copyleft license.
Comment

Pro
 Very large collection

This set contains icons for many file types that are ignored by other icon sets.
Comment

Pro
 Flat but with some depth

Comment

Con
 Under GNU GPL3

Limited use elsewhere.
Comment

 Simple

All icons have the same form.

Very simple and generic icon theme.

It's a complete theme, with custom icons, GTK, cursors, Gnome Shell.
Comment

Pro
 Flat and colorful design

The look of this theme is inspired by Material Design.
Comment

Pro
 Comfortable and stylish

Stylish, comfortable, uniform.
Comment

Con
 Back to early 2010s kitsch

Feels old, or even squalid.
Comment

Pro
 Good contrast

Icons have a dark border around plus a subtle shadow at the bottom and hilight on the top to improve the contrast with the background.
Comment

Con
 Contrast issues

There is not much contrast between the icon and the background if you use a not white (eg: greyish) theme.
Comment

Con
 Need moka icon set to work but you can edit the default icons to use if you don't have it installed

Comment

Pro
 Really easy on the eye

Comment

Con
 Default fallback icon theme does not match

Comment

 Minimal

Flat.
Comment

 Vibrant, skeomorphic Icons

One of the best icon packs ever created.
