I have many tents, they all serve different purposes.

I have a one person winter/mountain tent, it has great coverage, but would suck in the summer in texas, reasonably light for a winter tent.
I have a two person hiking tent which is good, but not quite enough for winter, lightweight.
I have a 4 person tent I use when camping near my vehicle, very roomy but heavy.

They all have different uses, but lately unless I am sharing with others, I don't use a tent when hiking, just a bivy sack with a tarp. The tarp allows me to sit up and have a sheltered place, while the bivy sack keeps the bugs out and the bedding dry and warm. The tarp keeps my stuff covered and allows me to keep the bivy sack open, with just the netting zipped shut, (i really hate fully closing the sack, the opening can be closed with netting, or fully closed)

There are just too many different climates and uses for a tent to have a single list. It needs to be large enough, strong enough, light enough, but how much of each varies a lot by usage. When camping out a festival, I want something large and roomy, but light is not a primary concern. Hiking the weight and strength are primary.
