I like a certain amount of realism, but going to the "photorealistic" sometimes defeats the purpose.  So wrapped up in the tiny details that the original idea is pushed into a secondary or lower place, the results are never satisfying.  For those that make it their "thing", fine, just don't expect me to try to follow or seem to wish to do that. 

My other pet peeve is those that try to define what the "average user" is willing or capable of.  They're always wrong, and will never admit it.
