Cons: (Still) No synchronization support (e.g. Ubuntu one), which is a dealbreaker for most people. You can read about the author's motives here. It is the same note taking application, including most of the add-ins (more are to come). Synchronization support is being worked on. Tomboy is not going to be installed by default in Ubuntu 12.04 - I suppose Gnote may take its place some day.
