In fact, the quality of IFC has improved (take a look at OZ F /SQ R)
Domestic FC hasn't - International foreign carriers are way better but flying within the US is just a grind.
On the last flight (LAS-JFK) there was a line at the FC bathroom from coach. I was in 1C and kept getting bumped for the line that was 3 deep. It used to be a big deal to not have anyone standing in the front, now it is just ignored.
I just accept it, flying is faster than driving, but my expectations are now lower.
