Well, just as one example, the pulsing default button in Aqua. That feels like the kind of eye candy that was added to the UI just because they could. It doesn't convey a single iota more information than a bold button that is clearly the default.

The spiffy visual effects on opening and closing windows in the Finder is another example. Cool, but what's the real purpose?

The new file dialogs in OS X are noticeably less efficient for users, though they do have some advantages at the application level according to a couple of OS X developer friends.

One of my favorites: I can't shut down my computer without confirming my desire to do so (although there are a couple of obscure key combos that bypass that confimer).
