There's a thread on favorite vegetation so now we need one on least favorite vegetation.
For me, I'd go with tropical rainforest. Very lush and overgrown with no views except for the tangled blob of green. The are also very damp and they feel very messy, rotten and claustrophobic.
I dislike pretty much any dense, lush forests as the are overgrown, monotonous and lack views. Deciduous forests are a step above as they at least change colors in the fall and are bare and open in the winter and look great in the snow. Most coniferous forests are ok as they tend to be more open and I think they're more interesting trees.
^I agree about those dense, intensely lush tropical rainforest. It's like having too much sugar or chocolate. They're nice in small quantities, but being surrounded by such overload of greenery is just too cloying and nauseating.
Deciduous forests (still beautiful, but not one of my least favourites with the above):
They have a depressing, somber tone to them. Now I don't mind having a nice deciduous tree in my backyard. But just don't give me a forest of those.
My least favorite vegetation is probably your favorite, dryland vegetation i.e. Deserts, short grass prairies,arid scrublands, or for that matter any type of grassland or other type of vegetation that grows in anything other than a humid climate
I hate barren deciduous forests. I don't see the appeal in a dead-looking landscape.
I also hate the wet cluttered rainforest look (tropical or temperate).
Deciduous trees look unappealing in the winter but I much prefer them to coniferous trees in the summer. Certainly I would rather have a street lined with deciduous trees than coniferous ones. And, of course, they look very nice and colourful in autumn.
Least favourite vegetation are tundra, hot desert, cold desert.

I find dead barren deciduous forests a part of the seasonal cycle, and they have their part to play before the snow season sets in. In my dream climate this is mostly in late November and in December, and again in March. Then the flowers pop up, the undergrowth starts to grow, and by mid-April the trees are almost completely green.
A dream forest would be 70% deciduous and 30% coniferous.
