I find it pretty annoying actually. I have been submitting my returns digitally for several years now and I haven't noticed any improvements?
For example, it pre-fills some data but omits obvious stuff like my first name and email address which are highly unlikely to have changed since last year?
Some non-relevant sections can be ignored but others need you to enter 0.00.
Also, if there is an error in the electronic filing, so your return is not submitted, good luck on finding what that error was because they aren't going to tell you.
And, lastly, the switch from the old style site to the new could be handled better, like all in one go instead of randomly switching you between the two.

They may be thinking that it is better to let you cache that information in your browser?
Well, I have always done the paper form instead of online (why? I don't know.. but this year will likely be online) and the paper form has your name and address on it, and you only have to change something if it is different.
