Can you say more on your experience here? I've not heard people use that term before, and I'd be interested in how it received/what you think the difference is

  Sure, just that stories about "paying down tech debt" are an implicit admission of flaws and shortcuts and "doing it again because it wasn't done right initially". Which is all true but the concept of making deliberate trade offs for speed and expedience invariably gets lost. Stories about ongoing improvement - tech enhancement - just get seen as more positive. Plus that term covers both remediating original shortcut choices as well as new engineering improvements arising.
