I agree with everything that has been suggested so far! My two cents would be an app on the Nookphone to call or text our villagers so they let us know where they are, or even being able to summon them somewhere (maybe make them visit our house?)

I wish we could craft directly from our storage! And more than one item at a time!
Also... it really bugs me that some items have unnecessarily large blank spaces around them and you can't put them closer together (does anyone know what I mean?!?!). Like... it looks like you should be able to walk between that table and chair but.... NOPE. It makes it hard to decorate sometimes when you want it to be functional (i.e. still be able to walk around all the items, sit in all chairs, etc.). Drives me crazy
And finally.... I wish we could put DIY's in our home storage. I like to keep extra ones to give to people but I hate that they just sit all over the ground outside. There's no room for them in my house.

You can always sell the duplicates rather than keep them. A good way to make a few extra bell.
I don't think it would be that difficult either. They essentially do that with the wands for clothing. Those clothes are not in your storage or your pocket.
One of the YouTubers I watch showed how the Dodos are going to be offering Delivery and Liquidation services from the islands. At this time (and only if you time travel to June 1) it only works on Harvey's Island, but the mechanics are there for more. This would tie in perfectly to being able to jump from island to island.

Just thought of another one too. I wish we had the ability to call villagers like we did in previous versions of the game... you know when you yelled their name outside so you could find where they were? Made it easier to deliver lost items or if you're looking for a specific villager

I really want to be able to mass craft and mass purchase items. I think it's so strange how some items can be bought in bulk and others can't. It's such a pain when I go to Able's and I have to keep going in and out of the dressing room.
On that note, can we have some kind of icon that tells us if we own a piece of clothing or not? I have accidentally bought dupes because I have the memory of a goldfish and I hate it so much.
ALSO, can we please just island hop in succession? I hate having to constantly go back to Orville just to have Wilbur fly us out. Just keep flying!

Oh the orville thing drives me crazy. It's like "are you sure? REALLY SURE?! SUPER SURE?! POSITIVE? *15 seconds of him just staring blankly* alrighty here we go openin' the gate now! -_-
Airport:
Airport should have an app. I should be able to open my gates wherever I am and not have to go all the way to the airport EVERY TIME
bulk:
Buying in bulk should be more!! Buying 30+ things from Lief is incredibly slow
Toolbox:
It was in NL and it should be in NH
Planning:
I really really want planning of some sort before I go building bridges/inclines, terraforming and moving around buildings... I know there's planning websites, but it's planning for maps only. I want to see what somethings going to look like! Too many times I've completely terraformed and built an area just to hate it
Storage:
Why???? Can't we store turnips or DIYS??????? Especially DIYs??????? It's terrible!!

This 100% I don't want to enter the changing room 394 times.
Buying clothes at Able sisters in bulk and mass crafting.
More design slots and templates
Police station Copper and Booker should return to tell which npc is there once a week.
Stacking clams like stacking shells
Buying NMT in bulk
Easier terraforming

-ability to CHOOSE AGAIN when I select the wrong option (like you mentioned) at the airport..... the number of times I type a dodo wrong or select "search for friend" instead of "search for dodo" bc my left joycon is drifting/dying so bad and then I have to restart.. why..
-mass crafting, the fishing tourney made my fingers wanna die
-mass buying at ables
-an easier way to move flowers, I get that having to dig them up was to prevent theft, but omg digging them up and replanting, and then my shovels breaking 92184091 times kills me... they should just add a gardening mode in the terraforming app or something!!
-better storage.. esp at the airport... I dont understand why they got rid of the train station storage? and why cant we store turnips/flowers anymore? also sucks that I cant display the lily of the valley in my house!
also not really a quality of life thing, but it makes me really sad that when villagers leave they dont send you a goodbye letter anymore i'm pretty sure jacob was my friend and he just peaced out without a word sigh

bulk 
OOOOOOOOF A LOT! Where is my list....
1. BULK MEANS BULK. Not 5. I want a number counter! Or a 'Max' option. I don't want to sit in the shop for 30 min buying customization kits.
2. Why can't I donate to the museum with visitors??? What's the harm? What if they're giving me fossils and I want to check if I have them or not? Or vice versa?
3. PLS LET ME USE MY ABD WITH VISITORS AND WHEN GOING TO OTHER'S ISLANDS.
4. Bulk.Crafting.
5. Let me see the prices of items in the shop! I don't carry 150k bells on me. I don't want to have to go through all of Timmy/Tommy dialogue just to realize I can't afford the item, go to my ABD, then go back to read the same dialogue for the item I KNOW I want.
6. Something to let me know what colors of items I have? Idk. I'm tired of seeing an item I want in the shop only to have to go through my whole catalog to see if I have that color variant. Or heck, even just make the item names visible so I don't have to listen to Timmy/Tommy just to get the item name to look in my catalog. That would be acceptable.
7. Store turnips. Just bought 3+mil bells in turnips today and covered nearly half my island. c:
8. Store RECIPES. PLS.
And of course all the other popular ones: Stack manilla clams, use items from house storage in crafting, more custom design slots, etc, etc~

Paths that change the floor instead of being a square on top of it. I see the green line in my nightmares and don't even get me started on cliffs. On the same note of paths, I hope someday dirt and sand don't show up on the map. My entire town is covered in sand and I cant see the paths on the map anymore wtf?
