Excellent quality! Ive been using my Whisperlite for ~10 years, never failed me. Hardly ever needs cleaned, and when it does its a very simple task.
Cools quickly
comes with wind screens

takes a time or two to light it with out a big flare up. (Just crack the gas valve open for a few secs, light then close gas valve let that small amount of fuel burn to warm jet, then right before flame goes out open gas to ignite stove). Really quite simple and not a reason to not purchase.

There are lighter models out now, in the summer I carry a MSR pocket rocket to cut down on weight.

quick and easy set up and to use.
small and packs well.

gets a little finicky with age
hard to unscrew the jet to clean out the shaker
Disassembling/reassembling to clean/repair it is a pain
Would be nice if it could cook at other temperatures (not an issue if you're just boiling water though)

amazing reliability and size (the bottle does take up alot of space but the stove is tiny.) the thing cools quickly and is really easy once you get a hang of lighting it.

takes a couple of times to learn how to start quickly, but is easy once you know how.

light, simple, intuitive, cools quickly

Takes some getting used to to eliminate flareups, reflector and wind guard feel disposable

Indestructible. Can burn gas from any gas station (get premium). Easily fixable in the field.

Heavier than some other options. No real temperature control - just on/off/sputtery.
