For me, yes.  With my definition of "improved" is that it has simplified my
work.  Otherwise I wouldn't have said so.

I have 3ware RAID controllers and mostly use RAID 5.  The amount of space
that I need on given partitions can vary a great deal over a month's time.
With LVM I can simply shrink one partition and expand another.
