Pros
Pro Integration with Microsoft Store
Helps you purchase videos and watch them... that is, if you live in United States or a select few other countries.
Pro Supports H.265, and has for over 5 years
Pro Is actively developed by clsid2 on github
Pro Supports frame stepping with Ctrl+Left/Right
Useful for game development frame debugging. Your average user won't need this. VLC has frame advance, but it's hidden and non-intuitive; not clear if VLC can step backwards.
Cons
Con Lacks basic run-of-the-mill features
Watching, pausing, resuming, resizing video dimensions, seeking and adjusting subtitles are either outright impossible or very difficult.
Con Slow and buggy
Con Discontinued
It's been discontinued since 2017.
Con Windows only
MPC-HC supports only Windows operating systems.
