Cons
Con A bit slow at first start (Cold start)
Other than this, the plugin beats anything in the market.
Con Only Availabe with COC plugin
would be great if it gets a Lua port
Con Steeper barrier to entry as compared to a GUI solution
Since you have to get used to working in the terminal (if you are not already used to doing that) and learn the commands, it has a steeper learning curve than GUI clients which are usually more intuitive and easier to grasp.
