Pros: Easy to use, saves a lot of time and nerves for developers which at the end means a lot of money saved
Cons: Price can always be a bit lower, not easy to handle who is allowed / disallowed to use license within the company
Overall: time saved
Pros: I work in Grails, a Java-based framework that supports hot code reloading with Spring-loaded. Spring-loaded, unfortunately, lives up to its promise about 40% of the time. Modifying a service with inheritance? Fat chance. Changing static methods on a bean? Good luck! The dependent beans won't get updated. JRebel handles all these situations gracefully and just blows Spring-loaded out of the water.
JRebel's support is extremely responsive and follows up to make sure an issue is resolved.
The kids of death for developers is downtime during development; JRebel's hot reloading stops the waiting and distraction of restarting the server away. Theme product pays for itself many times over by saving costly developer time.
JRebel is also super easy to install, with IDE plugins for many popular editors.
Cons: The only issue we've had with JRebel was in a multi-project Gradle build where it didn't automatically pick up changes to dependent modules. In this case, we had to manually recompile a changed file and then JRebel picked it up right away. Not too much of an issue.
