Pros and Cons:

• Pros
• Multi platform on all the modern operating systems
• This supports GMCP a massive pro which means the Magic Map can be used.
• It is actively being developed
• It is very easy to re-use each others content, installing stuff as packages
• Looking at what some other muds have already done the potential is mind blowing
• It is as powerful as it gets in terms of scripting, UI customisation etc 
• Cons
• Initially it is not just as simple to use as the web client or other clients you were already familiar with
• There is not a huge amount of readily install-able add-ons available for Genesis... yet..
• It is a little bit complicated to take stuff created by others and tweak it how you'd like
