Get back those OS 9 faves like Windowshade, File Labels, and no drop shadows.
I love X's stability, but I've had to hack the shit out of it to make it anywhere near usable. Those ass-clowns at Apple made some really dumb decisions regarding the GUI of OS X. It's like a middle finder to Apple's old Human Interface Guidlines, which revolutionized how we interacted with computers. Now there's a lot of eye candy at the expense of efficiency.
I'm all for Apple trying to increase market share by appealing to a broader audience, but shit, even Windows XP has an option to turn off the Candy-Coated interface stuff. I hate to say it but XP one-ups OS X on several levels (the most important one being the font rendering).
