The biggest issue is that they didn't just extend the address space and drop the redundant bits (like optional source routing, which nobody used anyway), they tried to introduce a bunch of new mechanics which fuck things up.
For example, SLAAC: nice in theory, but garbage when your ISP is retarded and only gives you /64, preventing you from making subnets which also work with Android (thanks Google!). I've even heard of retardation like giving out /128 only!
But even if I'd be okay with not being able to use my phone on my own subnet I can't figure out how to make the router actually give out a subnet, so I simply don't use IPv6 and just sit behind a double-NAT IPv4, which was substantially easier to set up even if it's shit.
But what I consider to be an even bigger issue is that IPv6 can and still will suffer from (severe) routing table fragmentation, as you can get some arbitrary IPv6 range and use it pretty much anywhere (on the same continent, at least, not sure what the exact requirements are). I believe the only real solution to this is to map addresses to physical coordinates and enforce that an address maps relatively close to its corresponding coordinate.
Hell, everyone uses DNS anyway and IPv6 obviously isn't meant to be typed in directly, so why bother reserving specific ranges to specific entities instead of regions?
