Pro Free and open-source
Although it started as a commercial product, it is now open-source.
Pro Most customizable

Cons
Con No binary releases.
Expect to compile this from source if your want to play with it.
Ubuntu has a package for it, but that package appears to be missing it's scripting language bindings. I expect the build is also quite old and i fear may be dropped in coming Ubuntu releases.
Con Development has been on pause for a while due to lack of time on the part of the original developer
It's open source, so someone else could pick it up, but no one has at this point.
