One hell of a question.
I still wish it was smaller (like my Mk18 type SBR) and/or lighter (like my 16" LW Middy Daytime Carbine). Or I wish it was a bit more precise, like my 18" 5.56 and 7.62 rifles - in short, I'm about out of legitimate complaints, but it took me a lot of iterations where I'd have my 'ideal' carbine of carbines not do many things well.
hensch nailed the rest of it pretty much, it's so hard to be objective about what actual use I have for a tool when there's so many shiny things I can add which aren't called for.
[eta] FWIW, my obsession with making an improved DMR has probably led to a lot of what in retrospect was poor decision making, but I've finally figured out that it's truly possible to work out a better mousetrap in that regard.
