> allow complex layouts that Flexbox and CSS Grid makes possible

What version of CSS do people complain about? By chance are you talking about bleeding edge unaccepted CSS proposals?

In any case, the list of CSS improvements is long. Off the top of my head:

* Remove min-height, max-height, vertical-align, text-align, etc. in favor of unified Flex model.

* Rename color to font-color.

* Default to box-sizing (or remove content-sizing)

* Make <fieldset> stylable by CSS.

* Make inline styles work with pseudo-selectors, or remove inline styles altogether

* Reduce the number of units

I'd go further and bring in some of the nesting, inheritance/extend and variables that preprocessors like SCSS support as part of the standard.

Even just nested would be nice, and very simple.
