The new gov.uk site is so much better than the previous collection of mostly appalling sites and applications.
For example, in a recent project I needed a list of bank holidays in the UK. Not only was it easy to find[0] all you need to do to get at the data in a usable format is add a '.json' to the URL. Same goes for the list of Courts and Tribunals[1]. It's a fantastic service and I'm fully behind them replacing ageing government portals and applications with it.
