Since Dinnerbone is planning on adding terrain sliders so we can control the terrain and what biomes spawn. It would be cool If there could be one slider where one side says Alpha terrain<-----Beta terrain----->Final update terrain. This way we could control which terrain generator we use.
I personally like the old terrain better but this gives everyone what they want. Now you could have beta terrain and the 1.3 update without having the terrain change and have those weird chunk changes. And those who do like the new terrain can have the same terrain without a major change.
I'd rather see sliders gotten rid of (except for perhaps a biome size one to replace Large Biomes) in favor of a more varied terrain generator. If we get a new terrain generator, we won't need this.

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
I'd be okay with bringing the old terrain generators back. I don't have any love for them myself, but enough people prefer them to what we have now that it'd be a good change for the community as a whole.
And yeah, I too would like to be able to say that I start on an island, or in a forest, or in general to specify many aspects of the world around me. Maybe I'd like to play a game where a circle around me is green and it gets progressively less pleasant the further I go from the spawn. Maybe I'd like to play a game where I start in the ice and to the north is a desert and it's only after I cross that that I get my first glimpse of a tree. Maybe I'd like to play a game where there are mountains everywhere I turn and deserts are something you read about in old history books. I'm not sure how many of these would be easy to code in such a way that the player could control it, but it would certainly be nice to have some level of control at least approaching what I used to be able to do when starting up Civilization.

My nephews and I have started posting Minecraft videos on my YouTube channel! Fairly random, but enjoyable.
General schedule is 4 PM Mon-Fri and 10 AM Saturdays. Most popular MC vid so far is the one Vechs laughed at on Twitter!
btw I would like to be able to control if I can start on an island or not.

Something like
Extreme (beta)
Realistic (final)
sorry, never knew what the Alpha terrain looked like.
