Cons
Con Browser-Based
Froont is a web app that runs in your browser - not a full desktop application. While the developer touts this as a 'feature', web apps cannot be as full-featured - nor as stable - as desktop apps (specially when dealing with projects that might be large, or complex).
Con Buggy auto-save
Froont does not provide users with a way to save work, instead making you rely on the auto-save feature that saves every minute. However it's been known to be buggy and not save progress.
Con Based on Bootstrap
Bootstrap is rather old technology
Con Design tool is web-based, not a proper application.
The site doesn't state this explicitly.
Con Can't export your site for deployment unless you pay.
Not unreasonable, but something users should know before investing their time.
Con Uses JavaScript
Webflow uses JavaScript on its websites. Website visitors can have JavaScript disabled and be unwilling to enable it for the website they want to view, which would put a website created with Webflow out of their reach.
Con No way to collaborate on designs with comments

Con No version control

Con Fixed media queries
Webflow has four fixed breakpoints (desktop, laptop, mobile landscape & mobile portrait). The inability to set your own media queries can be limiting. If your layout breaks outside of these four options, you have to export the code and write them yourself.
