Knowing Twitter I imagine "improved" means more closed and with stricter rate limits.

For the free tier, the user endpoint users/lookup which now is just /users seems to maintain the same rate limit, and looking at the other endpoints I haven't seen something stand out as strongly reduced.

I notice that there doesn't seems to be a distinction in the new API between user context and app context as far as rate limiting is concerned, so maybe that would make a difference.

But a lot of endpoints are still missing so everything is still to see!
