Pro Easy to set up
No configurations needed. Just download and code.

You can have multiple tabs open with multiple languages in at the same time and Code Runner still performs excellently. Searching through code is always instant and executing code is fast.
Pro Supports many different languages

Cons
Con Windows only
Available for Windows only.
Con Noticeably unstable since v.4
Frequently hangs/freezes, esp. when debugging.
Con Refactoring is not that easy
In Pyscripter, refactoring pretty much leans on traditional dumb find-and-replace.
Con Working with very very large projects
Code runner is fantastic for shorter projects, although it can handle very large projects. It stops code completion when the program gets to be several thousands of lines long.
