When I browse the Tag Archive page, I should spend a lot time to find the tags I need.

Could you add some Tags' collection at the head of Tag Archive page, like your so simple theme and also posts page and categories page?

I found css that helped me with thus, not quite like the structured format you have, but i was really happy with the result. The only things I haven't had time to figure out was how to sort highest tags to top and increase the size of the tag based on counts.

The css is commented in here

The page is here

I cobbled this together primarily from a post by Justin Keylly

You'll have to use the sort filter on the array... maybe using the size property.

Have you asked for help on Jekyll Talk? You'll get answer quicker there than from me as this is vanilla Liquid/Jekyll. Nothing special related to the theme to do this.

Also if you look at my other theme So Simple you'll see how I'm sorting it by tag count.
