Ethereum is a strict improvement on Bitcoin in nearly every way. Proof of Stake is a much better consensus mechanism all-around. Smart contracts allow for way more use-cases than just money transfer. The account model is much simpler and more intuitive than UTXO. The block time is considerably faster and finality is guaranteed.

It's not a strict improvement though, it's a set of tradeoffs
