Subject: [CR]pre- vs. post- WWII frame quality questions

All these pre WWII frames I read about on CR and salivate over the pictures of: do they ride as wonderfully as they look? I have not yet ridden a pre-war frame. With the same hub/rims/tires and drive train on a pre-war frame and a post war frame, would they ride about the same? Put another way, did frames get better in the 50s and 60s and 70s, or were fine lugged steel lightweight frames of the 20s and 30s fundamentally just as good as the fine lugged steel lightweight frames that came later?
