Ambitions: What's Fixed
jezzer:
The free-will AI for sims with professions seems to be really well-scripted. You can follow your sim and micromanage him on jobs if you want, but he or she will do the jobs without being prompted if you want to concentrate on other sims.
Also, I can't point out enough how fucking nice Twinbrook looks. And I love the fog effects.
Sparks:
Routing has greatly improved. My family of 4 can actually sit and eat together instead of one of them finishing their meal while all the rest are still tapping their foot and waiting for him to get out of the way, even though he grabbed his plate ages ago.
Claeric:
Sims seem to autonomously go for skills a lot more, too. My architectural designer gained a level without me having any idea she was doing anything. She had been researching with the drawing bench on her own.
jezzer:
"Eco-Friendly" gives your sim a LOT of moodlet buffs. Every time he or she does something energy or water-saving -- like car-pooling, shower vs. bath, using the clothesline, etc. -- you get a nice buff.
As far as the laundry system goes, you get two very nice long-lasting buffs for doing laundry: one when you get dressed (clean clothes), and one when you go to bed (fresh sheets). If you don't want to be bothered, the maid does laundry too.

I am risking a negative reaction putting this here (or making it at all), but whatever.
Personally, I appreciate this thread.
Since I didn't shell out any money for Ambitions, and therefore harbour no expectations of EA, I concur that EA has done amazingly well for a game that I obtained for $0.00 (excluding bandwidth fees).
I do feel bad for those who paid $40 and $50 for this EP and the base game respectively, though - many of the sparkling compliments in this thread about what EA has done 'right' should have been included in the base game. They did not receive the "bang for their buck" at all.
(That said, I'm so glad we can finally delete CC from ingame. FINALLY.)
