What's you biggest gripe with the D&D rules?

Hello

With which aspect of the current (or previous) ruleset are you most frustrated?
I, for one, think that DEX plays too small a roll in combat. Making efficient warriors with high STR gives me too much the feeling that they are big lumbering oafs. I know, there's Weapon Finesse, but that's only for certain weapons. Besides, it only works well with certain builds. (I am one of those people that wonder why everybody thinks they're a genius because they use Finesse... )
IMHO, it should grant (minor) boni to hit or something. I'm thinking along the lines of DEX in Arcanum, Wizardry VIII (the games with the most "realistic" stats-combat interaction), Might & Magic, Vampire P&P, etc...

So, what do you guys feel that should be different? I'm not asking about actually thinking up different rules, but just what you feel isn't "right".
