It would actually be very nice if the georeferencer tool in QGIS could also handle vector layers. I would assume that much of the code from the existing georeferencer could be re-used to also make vector georeferencing work. I think it is annoying that one cannot easily transform vector data

A suggestion I would have is to not put the Offset spin box in the status bar area. IMO it would be better in a floating dialog like the measure tool. This would allow more options, or info, to be added to the tool later. Also if editing the value doesn't change the result of the tool I would
