Direct Drive turntables


I have been using belt drive tt's. I see some tt's around using direct drive and they are by far not as common as belt drive ones. Can someone enlighten me what are the pros and cons of direct drive vs belt drive on the sound? and why there are so few of direct drive tt's out there?
Thanks

Owned both tables and sold them. The Denon 47 F was nosey a lot of record surface noise. Upgraded to the Aries 1 that I enjoyed for many years. But after purchasing a TTW Audio TT I realized the Aries was colored and soft sounding.
