I would like the metric system more if it adopted a few informal measurements that could correspond with imperial units.
Like, they could literally adopt the Japanese "shaku" as an analogue to the foot, currently defined as 333.33mm, which would almost exactly fit 3 to a meter.
1L is already almost 1qt, so ½L ≈ 1pt and ¼L ≈ 1 cup.
