Add the ability to create custom shapes easily using the basic shapes already available and Union, Subtract, Add, or Join.  Anyone who was forced to move from Visio to Lucid will appreciate this feature being available.  This feature has been brought up in multiple conversation over several years:
Combine shapes and remove lines in Lucidchart | Community
Shape subtract/union | Community

How to join lines to make a shape and then fill the shape in Lucid | Community

How many times does your support team need to respond to your users with “Unfortunately what you are trying to do is not currently supported in Lucidchart, but we’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products.” before it gets bumped into action?

Maybe one of the AI advances your team can make would be to create a crawler for your own technical support conversations and see what common terms keep coming up?
