For FAT32 in specific:
4 GB file size
8 TB maximum partition size
4194304 files on volume
255 characters in file paths, but I think NTFS has this limitation too
It also doesn't like power interruptions (NTFS and I think ext3 uses journaling/transactions, which provides some protection against the filesystem getting scrambled).
The main advantage of FAT32 is that it's pretty much compatible with everything.
