I think this is carrier dependent. Having recently flown UA J to from the US to Australia, I can tell you that while it made a long journey barely tolerable, it was a far cry from F, even on UA, let alone on a higher-quality carrier.
We felt packed like sardines. There wasn't enough storage room for personal belongings and the seat configuration was awkward and inconvenient. It isn't a bit more privacy, it's a lot of personal space.
This was part of an RTW and the SQ flight from SIN to FRA also in J had none of these deficiencies. This flight was altogether enjoyable. For this reason, I find it hard to generalize about International J.
