My only gripe is when ATC throw a late runway change at you...or worse want a sidestep in close, I think a lot of the controllers forget that lots of us don't have the luxury of flying visuals on a regular basis, it's also not quite as simple (particularly if your not expecting it..or you've been airborne for 14hrs) to change everything up, if I was in a CRJ sure, a 737 probably, but not in my 777
The other missing element is familiarity, I fly to the US probably 6-10 times a year, and to 8 different airports...I'm lucky if I see a place once a year, it can make it a challenge!
