Improved, maybe, necessary, definitely. The old way of using mass
storage
meant the storage had to be unmounted on the phone first, which could
break running applications.

I has problems with mtpfs and switched to jmtpfs, which works much
better. Or you can install SSHd on the tablet and use scp/sshfs.
I don't have good experience with jmtpfs. Here, it's dead slow and
hangs sometimes
(connected to my Galaxy S3 mini).
But, I have switched to go-mtpfs. This is really fast and seems to be
stable.
Since I'm lazy I haven't tried to access without root priviledges.
