While a kiss would have been nice, I kind of like how Clannad did prove that romantic plotlines can still develop rather well without conventional displays of affection. There's a subtlety to it that I appreciate, especially in retrospect.
In some ways, it makes Nagisa and Tomoya's relationship seem that much more heartfelt in that they really, truly do love one another, and like being around one another, and that their bond is rooted in much more than sexual attractiveness alone.
That being said, a kiss or two would have been nice, particularly in After Story.
However, I honestly think that a make-out scene might have felt a bit out of place in Clannad, and run contrary to the general mood and tone that Clannad was aiming for.
