'Better' is mostly an opinion so all I can say is I think it's better. There are a number of SoM bugs that are fixed in 1.2 like misaligned textures, NPCs that face the wrong way when talked to and easily misaligned event message text. The main non-bug change was that the Map Editor was rearranged to be faster to use and more intuitive, and there are some added notes to help know what number (angle on a warp event) makes the player face north etc. You can read the patches readme.
You can still make a game just fine with 1.1 so it's up to you.
