There has been a resurgence in analog and analog-style synths since the 80's but overall I think synth UX has gotten even worse with the rise of software synths. Turning a virtual knob with a mouse pointer is a terrible UX. Mapping parameters to a midi keyboard is also pretty bad, with the exception of hardware like the Native Instruments S MK2 midi keyboards or the Maschine that are specifically built for controlling certain software.
