It's annoying that we have to have specific elements (Void, Arc, Solar) for certain mods. Some Exotics have no place in certain builds now because of it.
Armor 2.0 was supposed to enable us to have more customization options but with the combo restrictions and the insane cost of materials (and especially glimmer) needed, creating a build just isn't fun. It's a chore.
Funnily enough, with the increased number of options and the ability to make very specific builds ( or at least attempt to), I've put less time into builds now than I ever have.
Some of the restrictions seem like they exist just for the sake of having restrictions.

All the stat rolls on the exotic armor I had before the switch are horrible. I have pieces that have a total of 24 points! Compared that to some “new” pieces that have dropped for me since 2.0 began that have point totals of 60+. Basically they made every piece of exotic armor I owned useless in the new 2.0 system. Yes, I can buy exotic gear from my collections. But the rolls on those are garbage as well.
