Cons

Tag Groups enhance usability once a lot of tags have been collected

Gist import data isn't adaptable. So the imported snippets could get named very ugly.
Con Very limited as free version
Very expensive for what it does for the monthly cost it is asking for.

Cacher costs $8 for a month and $6 for a month (for a yearly subscription). If they'd reduce the price to $5 or $4, it would be better.

Once you plan to leave Cacher, you can't carry the labels and comments that you have given for the snippet.
Con Not worth it
