How about being a little more open-minded? Some of us like smaller sized caves, so I think they should return to the game, making both the seemingly-endless-cave lovers happy, and the cave-size variety lovers like me happy as well.
It makes sense for difficulty to control the difficulty of the ENTIRE game, and not just monsters...I'm new to Minecraft and Im already a bit confused - (how would learning this games recipes be possible without internet?)
The vastness and seemingly infinite-ness of these caves (be it with mineshafts, ravines, etc) are at times overwhelming. And yes that anxiety feeling to collect/light/harvest everything in caves exists, very much so, and gets exhausting for some of us. As said before, these caves generally get boring after you've figured out how they work. The lack of [possible friendly, hostile, or neutral] bats/cavelife, stalactites, stalagmites, columns, glowing minerals, etc - refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cave.
Its just my opinion, but I think by decreasing availability and increasing their variation/realism could take the Minecraft world to a whole new level of respect. All im saying is the "whoa" factor doesn't last long when you realize that the gigantic caves youve unearthed usually means long hours of boring repetition, and you know what's going to happen every time.
The darkness listens...
Think long-term, not short-term: A few days after you get all the iron, coal, gold, etc your heart could desire you get really bored of the cave system...you realize your endless cave is 5% explored and the other 95% is probably not going to be as exciting to mine through once you've been through it the first few times. You'll care about it once you realize that obtaining all that stuff isn't as fun as it used to be. I don't know about you but I'm not a fan of easy and dull. This game is too great imo for it to feel unbalanced.
And ask yourself, how often is survival mode really about surviving?
When I find a cave I just continue my tunnel on the other side of it on the same coordinate. Some times I build up an enclosed tunnel through the cave.
I find it provides a challenge to building a controlled and localized mining operation. Sure if you wander through the caves you come back with a hoard of loot but you've also been all over everywhere and probably backtracked 500 times, it isn't very organized, and some times you forget where you've been, unlike cutting nice patterns into stone (or filling in where it is missing)
I'm not saying remove the giant caves completely, but having some varying smaller caves that actually end without branching off into another cave might help some of us feel more achieved and completed when we take the loot home - if that's important to the gamemakers of course.
Personally, I'm fine with there being many caves. It gives the players a way to explore without needing to expand the world as much.
The cave generation is the other half. There were two parts to the changes made in cave generation. One was that the caves were made so that dead ends were rarer. That's not a bad thing. Going into a promising looking cave just to see a stone wall in your face twenty blocks in is annoying. However, the bad part is that now, not only are caves endless, but there are a ton of them. Caves should be reasonably rare. Caves shouldn't be part of the everyday game like hitting mobs or building. Caves should be a special achievement, something you don't expect to hit whenever digging. It should be a surprise to run into a cave. Ravines should be even rarer. There are so many that they're just an eyesore.

Take my story for example
I was looking for lapiz many hours,i had silk touch,so it instantly destroyed that block,but there was the that frecking lava,it got flipped in it,T-T,i rage quit then...
More caves = more visible ores.
Since we only get big caves now, it's too easy.
I'm sure it has much more. You'll need to prove it, thanks.
THANK YOU chaos IM sick of you and youngs ranting. This never happens to me and frankly The caves add exploration and I dont see that many of them.
Then you should go underground every once in a while.
If THIS isn't a lot or exceeding what should actually exist, then I have no words for you.
