One thing I dislike about it is that the UI elements don't quite look like what they should be.  For instance, buttons are just plain rectangles - It could be hard to tell if it's actually a button or just an area where a message might appear. Without some simulated texture (or depth), I just don't think the UI looks as good as GUIs in years past.
