To which I could only answer Duh? I've done wet print processing with
Cibachrome, one of the easiest methods available in the 80's. There's no

And to answer the question: Of course. Color printing is infinitely easier now.
And with far more precise control of variables, inkjet printing is superior to
optical printing as well. In theory, with a large format neg, a superb
