The Millet System brokered by the Ottomans was definitely advanced compared to what Europe had during the Medieval Age under the influence of the Catholic Church esp. when it comes to religious tolerance but make no mistake it's still a backward system where Muslims are favored and other people are discriminated against.
Also, not a single country was under the occupation of the Ottomans had any advancement or progress in quality of life or any other aspect of social or public life because the Turks made sure that most of the generated wealth of Vilayets be transferred to Istanbul/Asitane/High Porte where the Sultan lives and only when people revolted against them and ended their rule, the countries managed to enjoy the fruits of their labor and national wealth like in the case of Egypt in 1800s.
