Pros: All the same functionality as QuickTime without the added bloat and advertisements; freeware; plugins for Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape
Cons: Based on QuickTime, so development will inevitably trail that of QuickTime; can be somewhat buggy and doesn't play all QuickTime content perfectly; only plays QuickTime content (although the companion Real Alternative client does an excellent job of handling RealPlayer, Windows Media, and other multimedia content)
