Cons
Con It's usually useful only when building real-time web applications
Because it's basically a framework for building real-time applications it has great support for things like WebScokets and uses non-blocking I/O. But it lacks in features that are used to build general-purpose websites like blogs, e-commerce sites, web portals etc...
For example it lacks ORM integration (at least out of the box) and it doesn't have a very powerful template engine.
