Now shift is specified as % of the original object: is that really useful to anybody (I ask to know, not to be provocatory)?

In the cases I had, absolute values (usually px) would have been of advantage.

When I had to create 38 concentric circles with constant stroke width and constant gaps, Cloned Tiles didn't offer a solution. I had to wrestle with the Interpolate extension, instead.

That's why I think the first step to a better Cloned Tiles interface should be about defining the desired capabilities, perhaps by looking at what can and can't be done with it, currently.
