Cons
Con No font ligature
Guake uses vte for its terminal emulation, and vte simply doesn't support font ligature (yes, it's 2019). This is what its maintainer thinks about it.
He really thinks supporting font ligature breaks terminal's grid, like he doesn't understand a font that's monospace is a monospace no matter if it has ligature or not.
Know any negative aspects of this option?

Great support by beautiful Gogh themes. Renamable tabs. Split terminal, highly customization. Drop down. Transparent. Pretty decent terminal overall (slightly better than Tilix imo).

Flagged Pros + Cons
Con Does not boot with the system by default
After (re)booting the system, Guake does not boot automatically. You need to open the application and then press the key to make it drop down which is a bit annoying when you want to get started quickly and don't want to press two different keys just to open the terminal.
