# Outdated, too restricted.

 * The current version of Font Awesome has over double the amount of icons that 
   this plugin provides. Moreover, the list does not appear in the visual editor
   anymore. These can be appropriated to this plugin being outdated, but there are
   more inherent problems.
 * One is that the icons cannot be customized in the shortcode. You can’t tell it
   to give the icons a 2x, 3x size, or a fixed width, or a spinning animation, like
   Font Awesome normally allows you to. It makes the shortcodes seem almost useless.
 * Better keep looking if you were looking for a plugin that gives you quick Font
   Awesome access!
