Bats spawn too often. I was lighting up a stronghold in a creative world, and the bats everywhere are annoying. They fly right into where I want to place a block, and since they're so small and fast, if I try killing them I'll have a stronghold full of holes. I'm about ready to nuke the place because of it. They should only spawn under stone.

I barely even notice them. What on earth are you guys doing?
Restoring a stronghold. Do anything underground (exploring caves, strongholds, or mineshafts) for more than an hour and you're going to see millions of bats.

I think they add to the atmosphere briliantly so I don't really mind those criters. In fact they make caves feel a bit more alive then the occasional enemy. Seriously, if you're fast enough you can light up an entire portion of a cave by just going and placing torches and you'd encounter like 2 mobs.
I have a massive mine system, with open spaces, yet only come across a few bats.
Bats only spawn in the dark. Unless your mine was naturally generated, it makes sense that there wouldn't be any bats in it. At the very least, bats shouldn't spawn at all in superflat worlds without caves. How would they get into the strongholds?

Whenever I step into a cave I always see about 3 or 4 flying around, I don't run into the same issue and I have a couple of missing layers near the bottom of my superflat(Endless dark cave) and even there it's like 5 or 6 flying around. It's probably because you stayed in one spot for too long like you said.

IMO they should reduce the spawning rate, but make a good sized pack spawn when they do.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
OT: I think mass swarms of bats are cool, especially with thier adorable squeaks.

This. It probably helps.
