Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
While the graphics are functional rather than flashy, the three-dimensional environments improve spatial awareness and immersion, making the Pit feel more like a real, hostile place rather than a series of abstract rooms.

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
Everything feels much snappier, target selection is much clearer, information is conveyed in much simpler/easier to identify ways in a lot of cases (the addition of remaining attempt numbers and max stack sizes are nice), and I can definitely see why some decisions were made in the ways they were made (like having items only load their visuals once viewed in the Sotsdex/Sotsdex loot pool/in the inventory, to decrease level load times).
