Cons
Con You need lots of plugins
For example tracking is something Final Cut can't do. Only with a plugin which costs (example) around 100$.
As well as for advanced colour correction you have get a third-party plugin.
Con Important compatibility and format issues
Breaks compatibility with previous versions of FCP and does not support industry standards such as EDL, OMF, AAF. You can export to their version of XML and use third-party tools for a workaround (with limited success).
Con Works only on OS X
Con Color grading is unfamiliar and nonprofessional
Especially compared to Premiere's Lumetri Color Panel in 2015 cc.
