I often don't find that to be the case.
While I don't use it much these days, any time I do end up on Reddit with its newer design, I find it painful to even just read the content there. I've tried to give the new design a chance, but the user experience is just so atrocious. To use that site, I have to switch the "www" in the URL to "old" to get the earlier design that's at least mostly usable.
That isn't the only example of "improvements" leaving me worse off. It happened with Slashdot, with Firefox's UI, with GNOME 3 (and later), with Windows 8 (and later), and with pgAdmin 4, among numerous other pieces of software that I use.
About a month ago, I booted up an old laptop running Windows 2000 and an ancient version of Firefox. It's been many years since I'd used them, but I was shocked at how pleasant the experience was. It made their current user interface and user experience regressions far more blatant.
Unfortunately, based on what I've seen of it so far, Wikipedia will likely be added to that list of mine, too.
