Cons
Con Runs on the JVM
JVM is a double-edged sword (startup time, memory usage, CPU overhead, ...) which might be considered overkill for a static site generator.
Con Mostly blog oriented
Con Poor support community
A very poor support community, and a developer who is just way too sensitive to any feedback.
Con Limited
Very limited free themes, that really are quite useless. Other themes cost quite a bit of money.
