Cons
Con Seldom updated or improved
There are no frequent updates/improvements.
Con Tag support is squirrly
You can add tags, but there's no auto-complete when you're filling them in, so you can easily make sure you're adding to the same tag(s) that already exist.
Con ZERO Support
Any and all messages sent to the developer go straight to DEV>NULL.
Con NEVER updated anymore
Missing many newer languages. (I'd go as far as to say it's abandonware).
Con No Linux version
There is no Linux version of the software.
Con No subfolders
Stores the snippet in only one folder.
Con No TAGS
Folders can't replace tags, and tags are the most used way to categories snippets.
For now tags must go in the title (making the "Add Snippet" operation very time consuming).
Con Only for Windows
Update 2019: Now there is a macOS version.
