Cons
Con Little / no third-party support
Like it or not, most third parties don't want to deal with less-popular distros. So most of them only support Ubuntu LTS and those versions of RHEL/CentOS that are still supported.
Con Complex multimedia codecs and plugins installation
Con "Online Update" update in YaST control center only works in openSUSE Leap
Con Packman repository has to be added to have good software support
Con Slow and painful unfortunately, especially compared to other modern distros
Con Steep learning curve for beginners
It's a really sparse, bare-bones system, no automatic driver install for example. It can be quite hard for someone not used to Linux.
