Pros
Pro Beautiful and consistent UI
The OS ships with custom applications for basic tasks (web browsing, text editing, multimedia, etc.) and they are all based on the same guidelines and are really well designed. Learning to use them is really easy.
Pro Based on Ubuntu
This brings the stability and offers a great selection of available software and drivers.
Cons
Con Third party apps may feel strange
Elementary's user interface guidelines means that third party apps look strange in this desktop environment and not everything is supported out of the box.
Con Still not very stable
Minor things like power management or default mail client leaking memory are still broken and it just doesn't feel finished.
Con UI doesn't let you change anything
Every installation of elementary OS looks exactly the same.
Con Doesn't support 32-bit hardware anymore
One can install pantheon DE from new Ubuntu's repo but Elementry OS is not making new ISO's nor is it supporting them. It's confusing to new uses.
Con Poor Linux community reputation
The devs of elementary OS feel anyone not paying for their Ubuntu respin are not worthy of using it. Which upset a good bit of people. Obviously the core dev team have issues with their community outreach and PR.
Con Upper panel requires extra spaces
The upper panel in Elementary OS requires more space. This can be a problem for computers with small monitors.
Con Window control button placement may be unintuitive to some
elementary OS has window controls on the left side of the window. It may be less intuitive to users coming from other operating systems that put window controls on the right.
