That is probably true as many of those old tools kept compatibility, but at the same time we got a whole bunch of new tools, more powerful than `ps` for gaining more insights. For an example look at all the changes in service management, eBPF and such. Not to mention that the shell prompt itself (see zsh etc.) is more powerful than back then, which could give a very different experience.
So yeah, old tools keep mostly working, but improvement goes on.
