I would like to add Meteor.js. Full disclosure, I'm very much involved in the Meteor community.
Full-stack JavaScript framework for real-time apps. Build on top of Node.js and Express.js with MongoDB for database (as a default).

Pros:

  • Easy real-time functionality
  • Amazing accounts packages to quickly build user centric apps
  • Zero config, but flexible
  • Historic and involved community

Cons:

  • Once you start scaling real-time functionality will require a lot optimization
  • Easy to get started, but the mid-level proficiency is reportedly pretty hard to get through
  • Lot of older packages and packages that are not updated to Meteor 3 yet

Use case:

  • Real-time applications
  • User centric apps
  • Great for MVP development
