I would say that Linux is always getting worse in some ways but improving in others. Linux is in a state of constant change. Just look at some of the changes recently. Tickless kernel, merging of x86 and amd64 architectures, supporting ide hard drives with the sata driver, and others. These changes are intended for good purpose, increased features or simplified code, but proper testing becomes impossible. Most of the distributions I've tried have required tweaking to work and fixing one issue leads to another. Updating? Don't. Who knows what you'll break.
