You can spin up a server and work with other people at the same time.

Pro Plugin based
The community can develop and release their own plugins to add additional features making game development easier. All of these plugins can be easily downloaded in the app.

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

Cons
Con Not frequently updated
Although it's got very nice features as is, and the team does respond to issues at a pretty good rate, the engine itself takes a little while to get updates. It's a 3-4 person team, and they need to work jobs on the side in order to bring in income.
Even though the updates come out a little slower than other engines, the team is still very much committed to the project and still support it well.
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.
