I have been thinking for a while that the eshop on the Switch, while quick and easy to navigate, is still very lacking now that we have so many games on it. There are no ratings or reviews, no featured games, and sorting through games is actually a little tedious. My friends and I often mention how we use sites like Nintendo Life or even IGN to look at games we are considering buying.
Here are some ideas I have had.
Best Selling by genre or New Releases by genre.
Featured games perhaps weekly.
Clearly visible tabs for genres.
Price range tabs.
Some of this you can do with the current filters but I think that system is clearly outdated and limited.
What do you think and what would you change?

I like your ideas. I would add a sorting feature by reviews, indie games, and main series games. I think the eShop is too cluttered with all of its $10 or below games that are absolute trash and are just ported to make money.
@Magikarp18 Interesting that this dead post I made 2 years ago is still pretty relevant. Though some things have changed. We do have a best selling list now and there kinda is a "featured" list too - though it's just the big names you would already likely know.
But 2 years on and the format has not largely changed and with hundreds of additional games, if you don't know a specific title, trying to find a game is really hard on the eshop.

Personally I don't mind the eShop, It's functional and does the job perfectly well, but it still could be improved for sure. I'd really like a dedicated section for Indies, for one thing. Kinda surprised Nintendo haven't done that, given the importance they've placed on those titles.
