Cons
Con Steep learning curve
If you're not a vim user, it will take some time to get used to the shortcuts.
Con Slow
As it is mainly written in Python, it's startup is slower than the competition.
Con Requires additional support and plugins for video playback
Con Software rendering only with Nouveau Drivers
Con No essential tools for web development
Con Doesn't support linux
Supports only windows and mac
Con Closed source
Proprietary software makes it harder to port, study, and do further edge-case testing without breaking terms and possibly getting sued. It even makes it harder to test on multiple OS platforms, some with varying ability for rendering.
