Animation and open source
In general, it seems like a great software for someone who wants to enter the world of animation.
PROSI love that it is open source software. It is very easy to use and the interface is very intuitive, it is also a very light program, it is totally free and runs on any operating system.
CONSIt is a software for beginners in my opinion, the animations are frame by frame, which is tedious after a while, and it does not support 3d animations.

Good free frame-by-frame animating Software
I like how creative i could get with pencil 2d, it helps, when one knows how to draw.
CONSI feel that pencil 2d needs more features to stand out, and then better UX for beginners.
