Pros: Full multi-track capabilities.
Lots of built in effects.
Even more optional plug-in effects.
Excellent support through forum.
Includes comprehensive manual.
Sample accure editing.
Unlimited levels of Undo (while project is open).
Simple to use.
Commonly used features available through menus or keyboard shortcuts.
Works internally with ultra high quality 32-bit float format.
Fully open source (GPL)
Windows Mac and Linux fully supported.
Cons: Recording from the internet is not always possible on Vista/Win 7, though this is really a limitation of some Windows computers rather than Audacity.
Does not directly edit files but imports/exports standard audio files while using its own "Project" format (as do most multi-track editors).
Other Thoughts: I've been a regular user of Audacity since 1.3.4 and it gets better and better. Current version is 1.3.13 and is the best yet, though roumour has it that 1.3.14 will be released in the next few days.
