Pros
Pro Organizes multiple tabs
Tree Style allows you to have at least 10 tabs open.
Pro Visibility
It lets you see everything you want to see and auto-hides those you don't.
Pro Fairly stable
It does not seem slow, you'd never have problems that will make you disable the program.
Pro High customization
Pro Theme support
Pro Works with YouTube videos, and most other sites too
A number of "YouTube downloaders" will only work with YouTube. Others (maybe the same ones!) no longer work with YouTube after changes were made in the YouTube interface and encryption. But VDH just keeps on working!
Pro Rarely fails to "see" and download video and audio streams
Many similar tools will often fail to download certain video formats or DRM protected streams. VDH fails to download 5% or less of video streams.
Pro Conversion license is very affordable ($15 lifetime license)
Pro Automatic conversion rules are very handy
Cons
Con No per-group customization
No way to colorize or otherwise highlight a group of tabs. Can reorder, but not the same.
Con Pricy
Con UI for advanced features is a little hard to navigate
There are much worse UIs though.
