Pros
Pro Beautiful
Pro Great community support, extensions etc
Pro Fully customizable
If you are familiar with web standards, you will be at home in this terminal.
Pro Limited set of features out of the box
Very few features are built into the product itself as the intention is for the plugins to provide most of them. If a plugin doesn't exist just as you like, write it. That extensibility, folks.
Pro Supports multiple windows, tabs, splits/panes
tmux-like functionality with native UI even on Windows systems allows managing multiple terminal sessions how you like.
Pro Looks good
Highly customizable appearance and comes with over 240 built-in color schemes.
Pro Open Source and Free
Pro Supports font ligatures and stylistic sets
Ships with JetBrains Mono, a modern programmers font, so that you can enjoy modern typographical features such as contextual ligatures and font variations/stylistic sets in your terminal environment.
Pro GPU Accelerated
Cons
Con Limited set of features out of the box
Very few features are built into the product itself as the intention is for the plugins to provide most of them. Yet, taking the other listed con of immature plugin ecosystem into account, this leads to either living without the feature or using an unstable plugin.
Con Can be slow
Example benchmark against iTerm in this Youtube video.
Con Immature plugin ecosystem
Very often you'll find features behaving unexpectedly after installing plugins. Even the popular ones.
Con CJK languages not working
Con Needs an account to work and sends your commands to some server
Apart from the security implications this is slowing things down, making it sometimes unusable!
Con Lua learning curve for config
The only reason it would be difficult to recommend is that it's for experienced programmers.
