I would love to see ShortStat (http://www.shauninman.com/mentary/past/shortstat_beta_3.php) by Shaun Inman ported to Drupal or for its implementation to *at least* serve as a UI model to follow. I simply love how elegant it is and how easy it is to see, at a glance, what's going on with your site:

Does watchdog have the right hooks to make this page possible? Could I write it up in PHP and then style it accordingly? Note that I'm more interested with the Tuftesque presentation of the information rather than the analysis done by the actual statistics module.
Most of these blocks already exist in Drupal as separate stats/watchdog pages with more information on them. Most of them just come down to doing the right query and passing the formatted results to theme('table'). The ones we don't have are browser and platform detection. Also, I suspect the 'search strings' box actually displays the strings extracted from referrers such as Google and friends, which Drupal's search messages are searches performed using Drupal's own search.
