I might be a bit younger than the average commenter here, because for me the favourite citybuilder was SimCity 3000, not 2000.

Anyway, I miss the isometric grid. Yes, it's less realistic, but it's so pleasing. The thing I'm most annoyed by in modern sim games is placing roads and paths. They never look quite right. It's the same with Rollercoaster Tycoon -> Planet Tycoon.

I'd like to see some new games which embrace a grid.

I also enjoyed the activists and protestors that would try to convince you to adopt sometimes not very beneficial ordinances. It made the cities feel more alive while still being a goofy and fun mechanic.
