Workflows and UIs didn't really seem to change much to me, so I'd say the UX is still just as poor. I don't doubt they've made improvements under the hood and fixed bugs.
Many, many things have changed since 0.21. There's a radically improved UI themes system (and two new core themes as well as good support for OpenTheme).
There are pretty significant changes to the "fit" of the UI, better preference panels, but there are also significant improvements to UI and tooling in Sketcher, the TNP mitigations mean attaching sketches to surfaces is broadly as safe as it is in other CAD packages, you can directly extrude edge selections in Part Design, there is support (not enabled by default) for multiple separate solids in single bodies in Part Design, pretty major changes in the CAM workbench and architecture workbenches etc.
Most significantly in a workflow sense there's a new core Assembly workbench; combined with the TNP mitigations that is an enormous change.

It's very much not just "under the hood".
Still more things to fix -- lots of stuff has already changed in the 1.1-dev weekly builds.
