Dear Carlos, To my opinion, the main cons with inline figures are - when, in interactive mode, one wants to add progressively labels or change font size, color etc. Inline mode is not convenient for such purpose. - when one has to deal with multiple figures at the same time. - when users want to zoom, span, change the plot properties or simply save the figure as... (not everybody like using command lines for such purpose).
