What's wrong with it, exactly? The video player gives me fewer problems than other players, and the site as a whole seems to have everything needed to watch videos.

Aside from there being bugs, like videos not appearing in your subscriptions page, missing thumbnails, video (you just hear the audio of it) continuing to play in the background while you can browse the site normally? One option I'm missing is as simple as reversing playlists (often they are in counter-chronological order when they shouldn't be) or that I can't order the subscribed channels on the left panel manually (I have so many subscriptions, that I have to get to the subscriptions manager, scroll all the way down and go to the second page to find some of my favorite channels) or infinite scroll which makes the viewport jump around when using the back button jump around and generally feels slow and clunky (although YT's implementation is not the worst out there at least.) The player itself is quite nice here on Chromium (not HW-accelerated but that's a longstanding Chromium/Intel bug), I agree. Otherwise the site is relatively fast and reliable; I like especially the video streaming smoothness and automatic quality detection, which is lightyears ahead of anything I have seen elsewhere.

I don't have issues with the page design like the grand-parent does, but I'd like a way to make the video go "full window" in addition to "full screen" (yes I can fake this to some extent).

Among other things: They ought to have a clear indicator of thumbs up/down ratio on each video thumbnail (a couple pixel bar at the bottom colored green/red would easily do the trick). That would save plenty of time that would otherwise be spent watching some troll video or annoying commentary/reaction edit of some other person's work.
