Error messages: Compiler (just compare GCC 6 vs. GCC 2 -- latex could become as good)
Packages: Organization of information and recommendation of tools to use.

I found that I cannot hack with LaTeX without internet, and that’s pretty worrying. But it’s because I have no neat local documentation. Too much expert knowledge, too little clear and structured documentation (except for the documentation which is restricted to single packages). That does not sound like something which needs a rewrite.
