Yes I agree. My biggest day-to-day issue is the general UI inconsistency and the ugliness of Cleartype font rendering.

To my eyes, the cleartype tuner doesn't seem to do anything. All the options look the same - in fact I even struggle to notice the difference after turning it off completely. Although I understand this can depend on the type of screen being used.

Most fonts just look sharp, jagged and ugly. I know a lot of people enjoy the more functional/pragmatic approach to font rendering taken by MS but I wish they would make some effort towards rendering fonts consistently and beautifully.
