Cons
Con Introduces breaking changes between major versions.
Ok, it's beta software, I guess, though it is 2-3 years old? Still less than v1.0.0. But still, they introduce breaking changes in a patch or minor level bump? Not even documented, discussed, or acknowledged in bug reports.
Con Not well documented.
There is some documentation. But the current capabilities are not well documented. Common use cases are not explained. The documentation is self-contradictory. Changes to code functionality not reflected in documentation.
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.
