Pro Scalable interface
The interface adapts to the screen size it's used on.
Pro Intuitive piano roll
Piano roll is a FL Studio's instrument step sequencer. It is considered to be among the most intuitive and flexible tools for quickly creating patterns and manipulating all aspects of each note. A single left click inserts a note, while a right click deletes it. It's possible to mute notes, splice them, stretch them, add shuffle, etc quickly.
The Piano Roll caters for those new to Music Theory as well, containing an array of chords from which to choose, be it a Major, Minor, Minor 5th, Minor 9th, what have you.
Pro Perfect for engineering because of the production style workflow
The workflow for creating beats in FL Studio is among the fastest which make mixing and mastering a breeze inserting plug-ins and routing on the mixer.
Pro Good for the studio
Some DAWs are good for live shows, some DAWs are good for production, but the FL Studio DAW has carved its niche in the studio recording arena.

Compared to other DAWs, FL's UI moves at full monitor refresh rates while others are somehow laggy.
Pro The only DAW with a VJ graphic generation suite (ZG Editor Visualizer)
No other DAW has that.

Pro Powerful Sound Editor
Edison is a great way to record and edit samples, sound effects and is a very easy way to create sample packs and sound libraries.

Pro Patcher: Modular environment
Pro Complete control over multiple Launchpad Pro animation lightshow projects
Live can, but working with more LPs is a pain.
Pro Best stretching algorithms in the market
Pro Very flexible timeline
Pro Easy Automation
The automation in Sequoia is similar to Ableton's automation, but is just a bit simpler to use and navigate.
Pro Very easy and fast workflow

Cons
Con Audio Recording not good as the other DAWs
Recording audio is always a problem in FL Studio.
Con Not intuitive for track based recording approach
Con The soundfont player will trash your projects, no 64-bit version available
Remember that nice project with a soundfont in it ? Yeeeah, load it again and prepare to face stuck MIDI notes and a trashed project.
Con Most controls are hidden
in the mixing console, mid, bass, and treble are not explicitly stated as they should be.
Con Has a slight tendency to crash
Always save before loading a new VST or doing something important: FL is prone to crashes.
Con Rather expensive
At $2970, it's one of the most expensive DAWs in the market.
