A good choice for a long time WordPress user
Overall they're somethings that our customers found not so convenient to switch from (visual editing ect) but the new ones we implemented this software for were happy to use it.
PROSThe ease of use of the software, a clean codebase that enables you to develop further features with more ease and with great readability. It's Laravel based so you get access to a lot of plugins that you can use.The team develops new set of useful features each new version - features that the users vote on OctoberCMS portal.
CONSSometimes the updates breake the current installation also because it's based on Laravel it can require you to switch to new PHP version when updating - which in itself isn't bad, but can require an code update to fir some changes in newer PHP versions.

Best CMS I've seen in the last decade
I'm an experienced web developper, more than 15 years of experience. Worked with Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla... October CMS is the best experience I could see since I do that Job.
PROSMost of the things are intuitive. No need to install 50+ plugins to have base features. Theming is awesome, and you save lot of time compared to a standard laravel application. In fact, it allow us to do tailor made websites for the price of a template based wordpress website (ok, just a little more expensive).
CONSSome elements are a bit less well designed or missing. The most missing feature to me is a page builder that would allow customer to edit their landing page content in a visual way. Or the file management widget that is confising between fileupload and media manager.
Reason for choosing October CMS
It's based on the laravel framework (PHP) which is the language I know the most.

Thanks for the review, Alexandre!
