Cons
Con Locked in the system with rather lackluster export feature
Even though data can be stored locally, they are encrypted proprietary format and can be really messy to export.
Con Nice features like graph view and image occlusion are limited in quota and only available behind paywall
Image occlusion, portal, PDF, etc. functions have a quota for free plan user, and are fully available only after subscribing.
Con Animation can be a tiny bit unsmooth and laggy
Con Limited amount of plugins
Con Pricing is rather high
Con No iOS app
While many other operating systems have a client, iOS does not have one yet (though it is planned).
Con No image embedding
Instead of image embeddings, there's a sort of poor man's substitute: image + description. If you add an image, you can create a description of any size and with all the formatting features. It can be used instead of image embedding but much more limited: only one image and only at the very top.
Con Internet dependent
Requires Internet connection to initiate offline mode, loses access to notes without Internet or server.
