Cons
- no captions

- rearranging slide order isn't intuitive (you need to change the publication dates of the slides)
Hi Chad, thanks a lot for your feedback, I'm glad the pros outweigh the cons for you!
I'm not planning to add support for video, but I can help out with a couple of those cons. Meteor Slides doesn't have slide captions built in, but you can add them in your theme using a custom slideshow template. And if you find yourself needing to sort the slides a lot or want something more user friendly, try the Post Types Order plugin, which will add drag and drop sorting.
