Drawbacks to Child Processes?

I was wondering, aside from the amount of time it takes two processes to communicate through IO, are there any real drawbacks to using child processes for all functions that might take a relatively significant amount of time? I feel like, if they open the door to, essentially, multithreaded apps, without actually being a multithreaded language, you'd see them all over. Why don't you? Presumably there are some drawbacks, but maybe most apps just don't require it?
