Cons
Con Linux-only small user base
If you have a friend/machine running anything other than Linux, it won't work. So you cannot transfer knowledge as easily and this also results in a rather small user base so also fewer tutorials and online support.
Con Lack of advanced editing features
Doesn't support stabilization or complex transitions for example.
Con Requires higher display resolution
Con GPU rendering is unstable
A fair amount of hardware and driver combinations crash the software.
Con There's no other formats other than cutting/ splitting, like fonts
Con Watermark
If you use the free version, the Bandicut watermark will be added to the video.
