I think it's gone a long way in fixing the negative impression that many visitors used to have.
Besides those that want to say they've been to Africa by taking a short boat trip, I don't see the point in going to Tangier for a suq or other specifically Moroccan sights. Why not just go to another city (ie, Marrakech) where you're more likely to get bothered by another tourist than a tout? Also, if the Mediterranean is Tangier's selling point, that doesn't make it something "Moroccan." Now, if you said Tangier has a vastly different cuisine and a unique attraction, then I might be down...what did you enjoy about it, chgoeditor?
