Legibility of the menu text is much better now compared to how horrible it was when the interface was its original glass style. They really reversed course on that as it was painful to read for long periods with all that see-through stuff. The part that is still bad is how white the interface is now; the gray was better on the eyes. Dark mode is way too dark; they need an even gray tone. The previous os already came with that, and I'll be sticking with that for as long as possible. Transitioning apps to the new look is not straightforward. Do it wrong, and your interface just looks like the older os style. The depth is less than with the previous os, they should emphasize shadows more. Hazeover still is great to use for that. Forcing all icons to use a squircle is annoying. Forcing all menus to have icons is annoying. There was a time when the OS got out of the way, but these newer ones want to be all up in your business, like it or not. If it was a noticeable improvement, that would be great, but I bet this thing will get another visual overhaul before they replace it, and the next OS will keep getting overhauled once they hear enough negative feedback. They are really tweaking this thing to be used with fingers someday.
