Bookmarks used to launch in a little docked file browser style window. It was ugly, but it was easy and quick to organize. You can still get it to behave like that, but it takes a lot more effort so, it has definitely gotten worse in my opinion. Certainly it takes more effort to organize.
Really, what they should have is a "Snapshot" option and a bookmark option where the snapshot saves a static local copy of a site and a bookmark saves a link. Bookmarks should have RSS integration so you can optionally sort by recently updated. History needs a meaningful search option and a way to group/nest by domain. We haven't even tried to pick the low hanging fruit.
Bookmarks are however, antithetical to Google's worldview and business model which I think drives some of their languish given that so much of the internet now relies on Chrome.
