The advantage is that you only get what you need, no less no more, minimal overhead (both mental and memory/cpu/LOC).

The disadvantage is that, when you find out that you need more, you'll run into limitations, and at that point you'll have to decide - add more features (and risk losing the charm & the simplicity), or migrate to a "real" SSG.

But if you know that your requirements will stay simple then it may be a good choice!
