Pros:
After reading your short explanation, "Open Toonz" is an Open Source 2D animation platform. Therefore, the main advantage of this platform is "Open Source", where all users are able to create unlimited animations.

In addition, a myriad of other benefits are shared by this product. GTS, Digital Painting, and Filming become the most important feature to be creative.

How about the use? Of course Open Toonz is very easy to use, even a baby can use it (just kidding hehe).

Cons:
Menurt me, open source products that are still classified as "new" still require various advanced development.
