Sweden is outstanding if you ignore all the equally great countries in Europe and elsewhere. Sweden also used to be the standard-bearer for the Nordic model, this is not true anymore. There's plenty of reasons to avoid Sweden, but here are the top ones:

* Everything is expensive.

* Taxes are high.

* Housing (more or less) can't be rented, buying is expensive.

* Weather is cold and/or dark most of the year.

* Culture life is relatively mediocre.

* Foreigners generally perceive Swedes as guarded.

* Racism is on the rise.
