Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Open source
Seq24 can be used and edited by anyone for free.
Pro Modular
Non comes in 4 different modules that can be connected with JACK
Pro Very lightweight
Each module is very streamlined and light on system resources, even when they are used altogether. So it is much better than Ardour for systems that are limited in memory or processing power.
Pro Focused
You use what you need, when you need it. Need to record? Pull up the timeline. Need to edit, mix or master? Add the mixer. Doing anything with midi? Add the sequencer in. Or just use the sequencer alone if you are primarily an eMusician using VI's.
Want to instantly save and recall full sessions, including outboard apps? Use the session manager.
Ignore what you don't need rather than having to clear the clutter.
Cons
Con MIDI only
Seq24 only has MIDI capability, no audio clips allowed.
Con Low compatibility
Seq24 only runs on Linux and win32.
Con No installable file available from the Non website
Con Unconventional
Con Not as popular
This isn't an inherent con. But this would be an AMAZING program if it had a fraction of the attention and support that Ardour enjoys. Faster paced development, greater documentation and support, etc
