The same can be said about OpenType CFF fonts. There are some minor improvements in hinting between Type 1 and Type 2 (CFF), e.g. flex hints, but the mechanism is largely the same. Type 1 or CFF fonts work quite well in a PDF viewer, because you usually use larger point sizes. But they don't work that well as UI fonts, which is probably what you mean.
