Advantages:
- Ease of use
- Open source
- Module support
- Automatic loading of required components (
jasshelper,w3x2lni, etc.) - Map creation from scratch without using an editor
- Cross-platform development (Works on Linux, requires
wineto run executables) - Unpacking your existing map into a project (no need to start from scratch)
- Easy dependency management
- Works with standard code editors
- Convenient localization and formatting system
Disadvantages:
- Not all maps can be unpacked (probably temporarily)
- Won't work correctly with protected maps (probably temporarily)
- Doesn't support Reforged (maybe temporarily? Is it even necessary...)
- No MacOS support (probably, I don't have it)
- Mb something else, not sure I know
