I wonder if that is the general experience?

Works fine for me. I moved to LVM on all my systems and haven't
looked back.

Has it improved anything?

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.
