Something I've noticed that frustrates me a bit is that the placement of biomes really doesn't make sense at all. It's very often that you see a lush forest suddenly cut off to a desert or a swamp neighboring a tundra. The illogic there is that deserts are hot and dry. Forests are not dry. Having one go directly to another is dumb.
Here's what I'm suggesting: Make biomes smoother in transition, esp. trees, sand and snow. Dither the sand on borders, stretch out the bordering shrubland so it isn't so unnatural a transition. Make the clumps of trees thin out around the edges. Make there be clumps of snow around a tundra instead of having a sharp cutoff of bare grass to snow. Simple stuff like that. I see no reason why they haven't done this already.
I think there should be mid-biomes that help blend two different biomes together. They should have little bit of each, making the biomes practically melt from one to the other.

This is where you would have found a signature, which you have, so congrats.
One simple way to make the transition look nicer might be to have tall grass occasionally on sand near the border of a desert, giving way to pure sand on one side, and tall grass on grass on the other.
Have you ever seen the "desert of Maine"? A guy drained some swampland over a hundred years ago to try to make room for building, but it dredged up an ancient desert that had been on the spot. It is literally hot, arid sand ringed by a lush forest. It really just ends suddenly. Nature can be like that.
I gotta say, the new biome system has issues. This is just one of them. At least the old one usually made sense, since it was based on smoothly changing temperature and humidity values. The new code says "this area will be this biome, and that area will be that one. A biome is now more of a thing of itself than the result of something else, and I think the system needs a lot of fixing before it can work as smoothly as the old one.
