The most embarrassing thing that Mojang hasn't fixed yet in my opinion is one thing.
They've updated practically every feature of the game, except that the "Grass Side"
texture is still stuck in Alpha.
No matter what biome you're in, the grass sides will be the same color, causing absolutely
horrible looking swamps, mountains, desert plains, and snow plains.
The way they make the grass top texture change color is by making it black and white,
and then coding a color system to replace the black and white. A quick look at the terrain.png
(which I won't link, google is your friend) will show that the grass side texture is still colored.
All they need to do is make the "Grass" part of the "Grass Side" texture black and white, and
then copy and paste the code for the top texture over to the side texture, and voila, you
have fixed the problem.
This is so simple to not be fixed it's embarrassing, Mojang.
Cleaned up the stuff about using Optifine or Fancy graphics. Some people can't use Fancy graphics and while Optifine is still a viable solution, the way it was phrased above was not exactly helpful.
To recap:
Yes Optifine works to change this.
Yes you can play on Fancy.
But neither one of these actually fixes what is a very minor problem that should not negatively impact anyone using a low end computer if it was changed.

Why does everyone think I don't have an avatar? Is there anyone who can see the one black pixel.
The thing is, lots of people don't have powerful enough computers and are forced to use Fast graphics.
(And among those is me)
Yes, support.
