They are still obnoxiously loud, jerky, and generally a horrible experience relative to a streetcar. Call it brain pollution, then. Buses are not sexy. The difference is whether you can lure "riders of choice"... for example, to be completely honest, I would never ever choose to ride the 15L. But i would jump on a streetcar without hesitation. Maybe not a rational difference, but a real one.
