So there a few things I have a problem with about the current biome generator and I wanted to see if others agreed.
1: The sharp climate shift that occur after a few feet. What i'm talking about is the freaking pine forest that spawn next to deserts it HAS to stop. Every time I go into a really cool desert and decide I want to live there and then I see pine trees at the edge of the desert I want to stab my eyes out and throw my computer out a window. To me it ruins it, just ruins it and I just simply can't call it a proper desert if 5 feet away are pine trees with snow on top. All you have to do is make colder biomes spawn away from the hotter biomes and in the middle let there be temperate biomes, easy fix.
TLDR: Fix taigas spawning next to deserts
2: I'd like to see the return of mountains in forest biomes again. Before the problem was the lack of flat land in forest biomes making it incredibly hard to build towns. But now I think they over did it with making mountains its own biome and forest another. It just simply becomes bland seeing either endless flatland with trees or endless slopes and valleys that are just wastelands. You no longer get the breath taking views you had with the massive mountains overlooking the great forest. What i'd prefer is the adding back a reduced amount of mountains in the forest and other biomes so that you still have space for building but you still get the breath taking views that defined minecraft originally. Heck look at the main menu right now you will see mountains and forest mixed something the game today does not provide.
TLDR: Add mountains back into forest
3: Grass color, my god its atrocious. Its so bad i just run texture packs where there is one homogeneous green grass color. The reason? Two things: First the drastic changes of grass color due to biome change; now part of this would be addressed with the fixing of issue #1 (no longer jungle grass changing to taiga grass a meter away) but it also could be fixed with a much more gradual change in grass color (done to some effect last patch but need to be done more) Second the fact that certain biomes grass colors are just absolutely horrid and even other texture packs use these same color schemes with a twist. Two come to mind real quick: first swamps why are they black? in real life swamps are green and full of life its stupid and everyone hates it. Second if we keep mountain biomes id like them be stone mountains simply because its both more realistic and its better than blue grass.
TLDR: Fix grass biome changes and change certain biome colors
4: You know it had to be in here somewhere, that's right you guessed it bring back beaches!
Feel Free to add your opinions, suggestions, and observations!
I would like that Jeb and the gang remove the frikin' snow and ice.
I just hate it.
Yeah I can see where your getting at, I like warm biomes and seeing a bunch of cold biomes gets a little old. However there are times where I get an idea for something that involves a snow biome then they actually come in handy but other than that sometimes I wish they would either be largely reduced or there was an option to turn them off. With the new update I found a snow biome that took up an entire continent and it was 1,500 blocks across im not even joking it was entirely covered in a massive tundra, it was cool at first but it would never end and it just got a little ridiculous

By balance, do you mean make it totally worthless?
