I think Disney made things much easier with this.
These boards had been filled -- practically overflowing -- with people bemoaning that they didn't want to make their FPs 60 days out "I don't want to have to know what I'm doing on every day two months before I leave for my VACATION!!" Now they don't. You get there, pick a virtual line and do stuff until your return time. Then you do it again -- you mix the standby with the virtual queues. The difference is you don't have three committed time frames, you just have one at a time.
If there's a ride you want to do, you can buy an LP. Just a couple of times a day.
Disney had simplified things a lot. What they've said is here's a line -- either virtual or physical -- and if you want to ride, you wait in it. Don't know how much simpler they can make it.
Now whether it's better or not, that's a different story. But I think more than anything else, Disney took complexity out of WDW planning. Which is what people had been wanting and complaining about for years.
