If you're using the default texture pack and playing as a Survivalist, then yes, it's more-or-less fine. But if you're trying to put together a massive Creative project, or using one a texture pack in which the overlay turns the green into **** brown, then it's a problem. We don't want it to be changed or taken away in vanilla default Minecraft, all we want is the ability to edit it ourselves with texture packs.
According to the coding, the color is more or less purple on top of the biome chart.

Yes, but it's a purple *overlay*. For the default shade of green, this results in a dark, broody shade of green. For richer, lusher shades of green than the default, it turns them puke colored.
So the complaint is that the swamp overlay doesn't work well with your texture pack? Find a texture pack that does work with it? I dont know.. if its the color contrast between the brighter green and darker greens that is intentional and is very realistic to the swamp feel. On the ground it gives a sense of wet muddy grass and dry land grass. I would like to see more variety in colors such as trees. Where is the trees with red and orange leaves that make fall time so beautiful? suppose if they put those in, people would complain because they don't mix well with their texture packs also.
Just seems like you are upset that a third party product (texture pack) is not living up to your expectations when from Mojang's perspective the biome works fine, and as a user of default textures I agree. yet I would argue they should change the sun and moon of the default texture to a blocky circle like
I am all for smoothing the boarders but swamps are dark and gloomy in general so I'd say leave it be for the most part. I do think their should be a new mob in the swamp. The first hostile mob to be anchored in one spot the Flytrap a dangerous hostile plant that bites you when you get too close and (maybe) it can fire poison thorns at a distance (a short one) it would be cool to come across a giant flytrap while navigating through a swamp. It could drop acid or seeds to grow your own.
The way the OP is written makes it sound like you're angry at Mojang and expect them to do better. If you're "disappointed and disgruntled" I suggest you play a game by a larger company to assuage your high expectations. Is this really that much of an issue? It seems like the thing they'd get around to fixing eventually, there's no reason to be shoving it down their throats.

If I wrote to bethesda saying "hey, love skyrim but dark elves looks weird, can you please fix it?" we would never hear, back. So I don't think larger company are the solution. Mojang always says that they value fan input. And they have never said they were going to fix this. They say they already fixed it and it's perfect.

I used to think like this, but the most update worthy features are ones that are bitched about the most on the forum, and as much as i tried to tolerate swamps, I stand before the masses, and

instead of just the square.
Want a texture pack to make your swamp trees look this color?
Too bad.
Mostly moved on. May check back a few times a year.
Nope, the "transition" still looks terribad (except now over a larger area).
BUMP
How come such an awesome thread gets in the 2nd page.
This should always be in the 1st page until what is being requested gets added !
Yes, but notch is the only person who created a multi million dollar block game.
