Yes.  At 9.3, many enhancements have been made to simplify the user experience in data compilation and management, editing, and map production. Also, the new Resource Centers simplify user access to documentation, help, and online maps and layers available in ArcGIS Online. Geoprocessing is easier with more meaningful feedback and help, editing and attribute table workflows have better shortcuts, and it is much easier to share your work with others using improved KML and PDF export options.

ArcGIS 9.4 will have a strong focus on improving the desktop user experience with an editing environment that relieves users of the need to manage geodatabase details, new geoprocessing tools that perform editing functions; powerful search functionality, a new user interface that will let users simplify applications (e.g., ArcMap) for an optimal workflow, and more flexible toolbar behavior and management.
