There's a lot of essential software that I would improve, but I wouldn't replace or rewrite:

- Nautilus. Serious usability/UX problems.

- Audio in linux. Ubuntu often selects the wrong audio devices (microphone, headphones, speakers)

- Linux sleep/hibernation. System hangs are common.

- GRUB. The interface is dated, why is it so ugly?

Re: GRUB: Have you looked at rEFInd, assuming you can use UEFI? http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind has a screenshot and docs, although you may also wish to refer to your distro's docs (e.g. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/REFInd)

> Nautilus.

A feature I found in Nautilus the other day is (ctrl + L) allows you to edit the current directory path..... Had no idea this was possible, but hugely beneficial.

look into caja as a replacement for nautilus, it's basically a maintained fork of nautilus 2 before they made it suck
