Pros - Easy to use once you understand which files to modify for Raspberry Pi usage this is simple.
Does have the ability to install apps using dietpi-software which allows you to set up various things which may be useful.
Cons - If you are not aware of how to use Linux or have not looked over the DietPi Docs this is tough to set up and use properly.
Overall, if you READ the docs and understand how to cut the sd card and set up the wifi, the process becomes simpler.
Been using this for years and it does the job!

I was hoping for a solid armbian alternative, but this is really immature.
Activating hardware features for example takes more than (as opposed to armbian) one step, as for they arbitrarily mask those features with their config-tool, while the "work" of writing down the device identifier in /boot/armbianEnv.txt (yes it's not more than a layer on top of armbian) has to be manually done.
For my board, serial communication was unusable buggy (while it works fine with armbian), with no culprits to be found at the usual set screws (said config, dtb, dietpi-config, ...). Whatever they did to achieve this behavior, they now don't care to fix it (my bugreport not even being acknowledged, not even them saying that they don't support my older board anymore but listing it on their website).
The head of the team has an alarmingly unprofessional way of praising their script collection as advanced in all regards. Noticed this afterwards, would have made me suspicious earlier.
I'm sorry for developers who put hard work into it, on the other hand it became a big time sink for me and appears not be done correctly. With the "trying-to-be-cool" factor, makes me personally quite antipathetical.
Would not recommend!
If you do find it working and have a good time, great, otherwise don't waste your time!
