Hmm, ehm, nothing really. Nothing at all, I just wasn't all aware about this anymore. Thanks for pointing this out to me again! The only drawback is that you can only adjust it manually. What we'd need is an extra toolbar when an offset is selected, where you can specify the offset distance.
Yes, which means we want to add an offset tool. It's actually a good idea, it may have more conveniences than just setting offset distance.
Furthermore playing around with it it creates some weirdness (parts of strokes, where they don't seem to belong). Is this a know issue?
It's known that it does not work very well for small objects. There's a bug on that. In general, offsetting a path is not a trivial operation, so although the algorithm can be improved, it cannot guarantee perfect results in all cases.
