Uh yeah...it's been this way since 1.0. Snapshots and updates are intended for different purposes.
DERRRRRRP.

im not sure what you mean by this.....how will things become outdated? the servers run the latest releases and mod are made for the latest versions, they can't update any further then the current release so nothing will become outdated.
i understand that you are wanting 1.3 to come out and i also want it to be released soon but nothing is being effected by it not coming out, the guys at Mojang just want it to be as bug free as possible before rolling it out.

Other than that I think it's great. More stone means less of that ugly grass (seriously, I wish so bad that they would've changed the grass) and adds more variety to it. I also love the fact that pine trees now spawn in them. It's much more realistic. I like that there are random points above cloud level (but not too far above).
I love the new mountains. All I would do is raise the snow level by about 10-20 blocks, and really, I wish they would change the grass color. But of course that's a downside to the old ones AND the new ones.

I doubt it, I'm fairly sure that this is intentional.

Then again, that could be the appeal of it for some people.
I also imagine that feather falling would be super valuable on, say, an Amplified server (if such a thing ever comes around).

All of that was added in 1.6

Had a very productive day today. Now that I'm more experienced at the game, I have a pretty good idea of what I want to get accomplished early on and I'm progressing at a rapid pace. Nothing really in the way of building quite yet, but that's coming now that I've got an established first base. Today I did mostly a lot of exploring, hoping to find cows, horses, and a village and/or temple, added in a productive mining trip, then started the first basic projects at my base. I've decided to settle down in the forest first after all - it just seems easiest. But I'll be constantly scouting locations for my other villages.
Alright, so first project today, I need to explore some!
Went in the opposite direction today, and it didn't take me long to finally find some cows! I started leading them back to base...
And made a crude, temporary pen for them.
I'm ready also to make my first true build - a basic wheat farm. Found a good area to clear. But first, I think I hear a zombie spawner just below the surface, so I dig down...sure enough, there it is!
Another record and more gold horse armor. Not bad.
In fact, it opens straight up to a surface ravine.
Clearing out this area is dangerous at night. These new zombies are terrifying!
But eventually I finally get it up and going.
Also, my sugarcane farm...
Back to the exploring. I had to travel about a thousand blocks, but I found some horses!
And some donkeys!
And a witches hut.
And this pretty neat mountain. (Might be kind of hard to tell, but it's a perfect hole through a mountain with a lava spring AND a water spring. Really stood out at night but was too pre-occupied to take a picture.)
Was able to finally get myself an enchanting table with the leather.
I put some basic enchants on all of my armor, weapons, and tools. Efficiency on the pick and shovel, Power II bow (combined two Power I bows), Protection (+Aqua Affinity for my helmet) on all my armor (Protection II chestplate), and a Sharpness + Fire Aspect sword, oh yeah!
Finally, it's time to do some caving!
Decided to tackle that mineshaft this time.
First cave spider spawner!
Also, first mineshaft chest! Pumpkin seeds, but unfortunately no melon seeds or diamonds.
Seems the creepers are having a party down here!
And the slimes, too. That's two big slimes right next to each other.
Been caving for a while, and I think I got most of the mineshaft (seems a little small by mineshaft standards). No more chests or spider spawners - or dungeons - to be found so far. I'm running low on food so it's about time to head back, but one look into this ravine first...
Well that was worth it! Also, I didn't notice until after I had harvested these diamonds, but there was another vein of diamonds literally right behind me in this picture.
Final caving haul. Not bad for a 2nd expedition, and only two days of playing.
Next update will for sure have the first actual building projects. I feel a little bad that I haven't provided that yet, but it will come. I have some good ideas. I just wanted to get established first.

Unfortunately, I was stupid and didn't back up the world, and corrupted it when I accidentally logged in on version 1.5. All of the horses disappeared and I lost motivation to play it. Here's the link to that if you're curious, but it only lasted 2 days haha.

However, I've decided for a while that I've wanted a new single player world (I've had the same one since 1.2 and I haven't touched it in weeks), and I have a solid idea of what I want to do with it as well.
Basically, I'm trying out my own sort of biome challenge - I want to build a village in every biome, and make each one have a unique feel while still being self-sufficient. I am aware that this will take a very long time, and I can't guarantee that I won't lose interest at some point, but it's a goal to strive towards. The villages don't have to be large, but I want more than just a house.
Also, I am aware that 1.7 may in fact end up being the biome update. Without knowing anything for sure, or what updates may be coming in the future, I will continue with this concept for as long as possible. If I am having enough fun with it, I may continue the idea even with any biome changes.
I don't know how often I'll update this. I'm going to try to limit it to showing the most important content. It's a "diary" in a way, but I'll be cutting out the less interesting content. Besides showing off my builds, I'm also doing this to receive feedback on becoming better at all aspects of the game (especially redstone, haha), so don't be afraid to give me ideas and feedback! Be harsh if you have to be, I won't take it personally.

No offense but you should tell your friends that there's more than 1 building material in the game, lol.

If you hate the fact that you can get resources so easily, why do you choose to make all of these "towers" that make the game OP and too easy? Nobody is telling you how to play the game. If you don't like it, don't do it. You can still play the game without doing it.

I have some friends that have recently picked up the game again after having not played it for months and they're surprised at the amount of new content that the game has.
I'm really surprised that so many people here are complaining about it. Or maybe not. I always regret coming to these types of threads.

Thanks for the compliment. It's a good way of showing how far I've come as a builder since my early days.
I've essentially retired the single player world that this was on though. I'm starting a new one for 1.6, but most of my recent time has been spent on my private server that I run. I've got another very nice storage room on there that I'm pretty happy with, when I have time I'll post a picture of that.

However, I may decide to find the seed for the world and re-start, and hopefully the spawning for horses hasn't changed with any of the recent snapshots. No promises though.
