As a new-ish DC reader, I think the reboot worked well in terms of what they were trying to accomplish: bring new readers in.
I read mostly Marvel and Image books before the New 52 and the only DC books I had ever read was Batman and other Bat-Family books because the rest like Superman, Justice League, Green Lantern etc. were far too intimidating to me.
I think the New 52 is good because, even if it doesn't change much, the point is to make the books accessible and I personally think they accomplished that well (on most books anyway). It's definitely made it easier, for me anyway, to break into DC's continuity without having to do extensive research on the long (and extremely convoluted) backstories for most characters.
One thing I do miss is Stephanie Brown, though. I really liked her as Batgirl. Babs is great, but it feels weird having a Batgirl with no Oracle :(
