Everything except some peoples aesthetics.
Pfft. Your first three
stiffer - i'm not cippolini sprinting for the line
lighter - pfft
wont' get stuck - pfft, if you are unable to put grease on a stem, you deserve to have it stuck
easier to adjust the headset - pfft, you adjust it once and it's done. So you take 5 minutes longer, big deal.
If that's not enough there are plenty of adjustable stems that are still superior to threaded and offer.
