For me it depends on the time of day and catering band. An evening flight in CE with a warm meal is actually very pleasant. These days the service can be personal and more attentive than in F.

Do sit on the port side to ensure you receive a larger seat.

CE priority bus is worth its weight in gold; obvioulsy combined with IRIS if arriving into T3 after 4pm, to ensure speedy arrival.

Oh and hot towels are lovely in the summer as boarding can be such a scrum, you often need to freshen up.

The only thing missing is a little sign to hang on the dividing curtain stating ECONOMY PASSENGER LAVATORIES ARE IN THE REAR. Oh and another sign on the overhead compartments in row 1; NOT FOR CREW USE.

CE is really improving.
