Cons
Con Not really open-source
Although there are some repositories on Github, it does not seem to be fully open-source.
Con Limited to SImple Content
Limited to simple displaying of contents but will struggle with complex business rules ie ones that require cascading drop-downs, complex nested documents, etc..
Con Un-debuggable Script Editors
You can't debug any of its in-built script editors
Con References
It will allow you to delete references which are used by documents and when you come to open those documents, it will then perform its 'shake' logic to remove it (make it balnk') and will also disappear from history / versioning
