It's bad points,

Chlorine smell.
Chlorine Gas release if improperly cared for
Slower etching time
Etches nearly all metals, and concrete , fumes can corrode nearby metals.

But imo if properly cared for, and proper steps taken to setup your work
area, ventilation good, etc...
It's good points out weigh it's bad points.
