I have not checked lately, but there have been two major features lacking in Linode that have compelled me to move away to AWS:

1. Managed firewall service, such as AWS Security Groups. I really do not want to have to manage hundreds of iptables scripts.

2. Easy point and click, yet advanced private network management such as AWS VPC. Last I checked, I had to run OpenVPN on top of my Linode setup, which really was not ideal.

Have these things been improved lately on Linode?

They have not.
