Apart from the cons
Pros
Build in and free report designer that can also be used in runtime to allow customers to modify and create their own reports
Build in and free database engine. No need to install or purchase a 3rd party database. Flip side is that it is only really suitable for local or small LAN based applications
Very data centric
Easier to learn for non-professionals who do not get the concept of strict typing
Generally more RAD, for the simple stuff you generally need less lines of code.
Runtime compilation buys you extra flexibility
