No crosswinds in a circular runway. You have the planes land at whatever direction the wind is going/coming. I think that's one of the pros. No matter what direction the wind is going, you can always land in the right direction to not have crosswinds.

Also, the example pictured above means that you have all your eggs in one basket. One problem plane and the entire airport is shut down.

Yep, that's one of the cons listed in the BBC article.
