Best
Districts/Placement - I love how geographic location is more important than ever.
Unique Civ Abilities - Civs feel more unique than ever and that's a great thing for replayability
Graphics - I actually really enjoy the bright cartoony graphics

Bad AI - they're just not that engaging to play with and the biggest thing stopping me from returning to the game more often
Tall v Wide Imbalance - tips too much in favor of wide. Makes expansion too much of a priority regardless of desires victory path
Diplomacy System - especially world Congress. Just incredibly unflavorful and comes too early. Even for an arcade historical game, it's out of place
