Yeah, a lot of what was in TouchWiz is now in stock Android.
This is probably kind of subjective, but my problem with TouchWiz is it's butt-ugly. I mean, if you think stock Android was a mess (and it's not so bad now with Holo) then TouchWiz is to stock Android as a 2 year old's art project is to the Mona Lisa.
It's a horrible mess of Holo, Gingerbread and just weird random stuff that doesn't fit with either.

Yeah, I agree. That's the reason why I stay away from Samsung phones. In practical terms they're great, but they're shockingly un-aesthetic. In hardware and software.
