Cons
Con Wants to reboot excessively
Some packages require rebooting to update, e.g. the kernel, or core features of GNOME Shell. Most do not. GNOME Software is unable to make a good decision in this regard. This morning it wanted to reboot my laptop in order to install Nano. This is not an anomaly. It wants to reboot all the time. It's like taking a trip back to Windows 95.
Con Does not show how much time it will take to install an application
Doesn't show download size, package installed size, package/library installation. If your installing a KDE app will it require several hundred mb of dependencies, how long will the install take, are you maxing out a metered connection?

makes super easy to uninstall software and it's depencies. Pro
Easy to update apps in batchesCon
Confusing which versions of software to install. Some are not from the distributor, some are unofficial, and the messaging isn't super great. Also, the screenshots in the store are MUCH too low resolution to glean any really meaningful information out of.
