Here's one thing that I've long wanted:
*
*
*Relative Layer Positioning
*
I'm unsure about the name for such a thing, what I had in mind is:

   - Often, I don't care much about exact positioning of a layer in the
   canvas.
   - I care more about where it lies with respect to another layer.
   - I care that one line of text is on the same level as another.
   - I would like one ellipse exactly at the same level as another.
   - I want to align all the elements of the footer in my poster.
   - I want to decide whether this layer I want to move should be
   horizontally aligned or vertically aligned with the adjacent layer.

I'm sure I could think of a few other use cases, but this I think is
roughly it.
The feature is quite evidently not new. We've all used it in many apps.

I just thought I'd put my need out there.
