Idk. I find the French verb tense system to be pretty difficult to navigate without a lot of gain in expressivity — I think simpler verb tense systems, like Danish, get the trade off better.
English is definitely not at all coherent or simple by any stretch of the imagination.
My number one language feature I miss in English is a case system. I know not all case languages are non-word order languages (I know Arabic requires both), but I think word order languages are constrictive and cases are the only alternative I’m aware of.
