I’ve been a heavy user of FoxPro [1] back in time. I would really love someone to make a better version of it.
Although these days you have Airtable [2] and Ninox [3] they are having different user base than good old FoxPro.

What's really missing is a better IDE with better type hinting, autocomplete, tabs, etc... VS Code would be a great base for an updated IDE. I know that Rick Strahl's West Wind has support for Visual Studio, but there's still some functionality missing.
There was 100+ screens so I had to do some bulk processing on those SPR's. But I used WebViews for any new stuff, and that was much better (though it was basically IE7).
Yeah I owe Rick Strahl so many beers for his blog.

I'm working in a spiritual replacement (http://tablam.org) but with first-class support for mobile.
I'm starting with a relational language, then a bridge to native UI Toolkits. Embed sqlite and good support for others RDBMS and as a larger hope, a custom RDBMS on top of LMDB or WiredTiger.
