The only downsides are that it isn't as fast as paying CDN's, you still need to host a version of the files on your own server, and you have no guarantees whatsoever.

I was thinking about switching to the payed version, but it's a bit expensive, and a lot of reviews are talking about the fact that the price isn't worth the difference in service level you get when paying...
AFAIK, CloudFlare is not actually a CDN, but more of a optimizer and it caches your pages for faster serving. Their site says that their service works great in conjunction with a CDN.
