Everyone has certain things they don't want in their D&D. For instance, some people don't want anime in D&D. Others are fine with anime but hate steampunk. Some people hate anthro/furry stuff. Psionics has its share of detractors. Heavy-handed morality, alignment, and the like (Especially as made manifest in BoVD and BoED) gets on a lot of people's nerves, as do magic shops and elven subraces.
My question is, what things do you not like in D&D?
There are no right or wrong answers, and I'd prefer it if we didn't criticize each others choices.
I'm not really sure about my own answers yet. I tend to be rather open-minded about what could fit into D&D, but if something occurs to me as I'm reading other responses, I'll chime in.

So, you like constrictive, confusing and archaic rules?

What don't I like in my D&D?
Inconsistency.
If the world is consistent then I'm fine with it, it can have ninjas shooting laser beams from their eyes and as long its consistent with how it applies and clear on what kind of ninjas can shoot eye lasers, then I'm happy.

anime, anthro/fuzzies, evil players, idiots who think final fantasy and wow are rpgs,
idiots who think that women would actually run around in chainmail bikinis or wearing black/red leather catsuits with stiletto heeled boots while wearing nipple rings on an adventure....
Idiots who think their 2 handed sword would actually be 6 feet long X 1ft wide and still expect to actually use it in combat...(another stupid anime idea)
I could go on and on...The japamation crap has really stupidified RPG's IMO.

*takes deep breath*
Psionics, evil characters, stupid players, anime freaks, people who want to emulate Lord of the Rings, or Braveheart, or Pirates of the Caribbean, hardcore D&D freaks (not naming names, but we all know those people who really have no life outside of D&D and know every rule and every book inside and out), people who can't deal with the fact that I have the last word as the DM, people who try to run other people's characters as their own, people who refuse to discuss things with the other players, hardcore rules lawyers, power-gamers, min-maxers, and uber-critics (the people who will find some flaw in everything you say or do).
*pant, pant, pant*
I think I got everything...

People who say things like this.
Really, about anything in D&D ("I don't like psionics!" "I don't like MoI!" "I don't like warforged!" and so on . . . fine then! Don't use them. Just don't whine that somebody else is playing something that you don't like.) this holds.
But the closer somebody gets to complaining D&D is too "anime," the more likely it is they don't have a clue what the hell they're talking about. ToB is too anime because it has good fighters! Eberron is too anime because it has art I don't like (that doesn't look a thing like anime)! Beowulf is too anime because he can swim forever, and rip off monsters' arms, and kill dragons by himself . . . no Western hero can do over-the-top stuff like that!

Kinda off topic but I also used to have a lotta respect for the Star Trek franchise regarding their equal treament of women.
Then they brought in 7of9 running around in a stupid cat suit with high heeled boots and bazooka torpedo t*ts from a 50's b-movie.
They did the same with T'Pol in Enterprise.
Roddenberry's death ruined the whole dream.
