Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • * One simple executable file contains all functionality. * Highly consistent and easy to learn command set. * Highly cross platform -- has been even compiled to run in a Raspberry Pi. * Runs even in very simple hosting, requiring only CGI support to run properly. * Easy to set one-way mirroring to Git * Supports Markdown, as well as Pikchr for graphics that can be represented as easily versionable text. * "Mini-Github" functionality out of the box.

Cons

  • * Some of its design decision (e. g. no rebase by design) scares Git users.
