Pros
Cons
Con Poor usability
The design is very unfriendly to disabled people, it has either keyboard shortcuts or very long mouse ways. The design allows for no customizations eg. full width titlebar or window controls on the right, and there are no different icon themes, which is bad for people with color blindness.
Con Small community
It is important when developing to be familiar with tools that other developers use. You can make any utility in any language you feel like, but if it's in an esoteric language that no one can read targeting a small platform that no one uses, then it was just something you did as a hobbyist, not as a developer.
This is not to say that Haiku isn't a great operating system to hack around on. Just don't delude yourself into thinking you're doing it to get familiar with tools that you need to know to be a better developer.
