Only at the BA open day at LHR in the summer - the cabin looked very smart, but let's be honest - a Y seat is still a Y seat. It'll get you there, but it's not going to win an award for comfort.
Still, I'd chose if over a tired older Y seat on one of the older birds.

I have never sat in one long enough to be able to decide, but all the customers I have asked say that they are more comfortable and feel like they have more legroom.

I have no direct experience of the new WT in 777-300, but I did go in the new WT+ LHR-NRT recently. It may give a hint. Maybe.
For daytime TATL fligth of around 7-8h or so, the WT+ seat would be quite comfortable, as you probably won't sleep anyway. For another 4 hours (as in my case), not so much. I can't imagine what it would be in WT.

I flew to JFK in new WT in early October. Not half as good as the seats I have managed to get used to in the last few years but compared to what I can remember of the old WT seat it was like night and day in terms of comfort. Having at seat power helps too!

In all the ones i have sat on recently the old WT seats have got little padding left at the sides of your back - you can almost feel the metal frame of the seat and on one flight the material was threadbare and the foam was coming through one of the ears : ( not great
