The main disadvantage about antimatter is that it must be held away from its "ordinary" particle, preferably in a vacuum. This is because when they come into contact they completely eliminate each other. It's like if you add 1 with -1 it makes zero. However, if held properly, it can be excellent for research as we currently know very little about it. For example we don't know why there is so much more ordinary matter than antimatter.

How come the universe is made of matter and not antimatter?

That is not currently known. There is a slight assymetry between matter and antimatter, but so far, it seems that this assymetry is not enough to explain why there is only matter, and hardly any antimatter, in the Universe. Without such an assymetry, there wouldn't be either matter or antimatter in the Universe - just radiation. For more information about what is known, and what isn't, check the Wikipedia article on "Baryon asymmetry".
