Pros
Pro Frees developers from some backward compatibility restraints
Fedora has a relatively short life cycle: version X is supported only until 1 month after version X+2 and with approximately 6 months between versions this means that a version of Fedora is supported for approximately 13 months. This promotes leading-edge software because it frees developers from some backward compatibility restraints.

Cons
Con Nonfree software requires jumping through hoops
For a Windows user who wants an easy Linux distribution to get acquainted with, having to go through all the work to listen to an MP3 file will probably be demoralizing.
