Pros
Pro Low-level key bindings/mappings
For example: Fn+C now calls up contextual menus for me with:
<!-- Fn + C = same as right-click mouse -->
<item>
<name>kybd control click</name>
<identifier>private.keybd_to_control_click</identifier>
<autogen>
__KeyToKey__
KeyCode::C, ModifierFlag::FN,
KeyCode::VK_MOUSEKEY_BUTTON_RIGHT
</autogen>
</item>
Pro Make FN key into a new modifier key for custom shortcuts across apps
Pro Helps find and delete files taking up HDD space

Cons
Con Difficult to configure custom actions
Configuring custom actions requires editing an XML file with very strange syntax, for which it's difficult to find good documentation.
Con Calculation based on 1000 not 1024
It's nice to have a base 1000 (MB, GB, …) calculation but it should be optional. Default should be 1024 (MiB, GiB, …)
