A few more things that would make like easier:

Make attributes more visible, e.g. [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=4970](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=4970).

Reduce the need for drilling down in other places as well, e.g, [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=11950](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=11950).

Allow sorting on multiple columns [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=10656](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=10656).

Also related to sorting, a minor but annoying issue: [Sort order of list and tree views isn't set initially (Bug 12824)](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/sort-order-of-list-and-tree-views-isnt-set-initially-bug-12824/3302)

Easier creation of complex filters (maybe already addressed by some of the more recent changes?): [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=8651](https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=8651).
