Why should i do this, when i want cron? I don't like system-timer. I use always cron. Or do i not understand something?
If you need to start to debug performance issues, you will start liking systemd-timer and hate cron. You can personally use whatever you want, nobody plans to drop cron. But openSUSE is a systemd based distribution, and systemd-timer has many advantages over cron, that's why we use it as default. And if it would be a really bad decission, people wouldn't have had converted so many cron jobs to systemd-timers.
An interesting question, though, would be how many do so because they believe systemd-whatever to be technically superior and how many only to escape the constant nagging "why don't you replace your init script / xinetd config / cron job / ... / ... by whatever the systemd religion teaches us to be The Right Way".
