Yesterday I was walking through a desert biome next to my house and realized how much was wrong with them. Why is there so many water ponds? Why are there so many cacti? Both of these things make no sense compared to real deserts. Deserts have extremely small amounts of water in them usually. I realize that pond spawning in desert generation is the same compared to forest and other biome generation. But seriously, PLEASE Mojang tone down the water pond generation. I'm thinking 2-3 water springs per desert (not counting ocean if there). The other problem would be, although not nearly as bad, cactus spawning rate. They are everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Yes, in most deserts cacti are quite common. But not every 5-10 meters. I think Mojang should tone down cactus spawn rate a bit down, to about a cactus maybe around every 15-20 blocks? I realize that is not how Minecraft code works, but just as a generalization.
Anyway, this is just my opinion, but please consider.
You have bad (or good) seeds. I've encountered deserts with little to no water and deserts with a lot of water. Sometimes in the same world. It's all a matter of judgement, really. Sometimes you look at a desert and it looks like there's too much water, and sometimes you look and it's as barren as mars. I'd take a picture of a severely dry desert, but I don't have access to my worlds at the moment. This also has been mentioned many times before, please search.
Cacti...you're exaggerating, really. There is not that much cacti in deserts. Even after Endermen start spreading around cacti later in the game, there's still not that many stacks of them.
You're either lucky or unlucky to be getting deserts like this, I'm not sure which.
I always see deserts infested with water. It's kind of sad, since they appear to be the third wettest biome (jungles have lots of bigger lakes and oceans are obvious

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
