Yeah he always has been. What Oda thinks is great writing isn't what most people in the fandom think is "good writing", well the powerscalers/agenda chasers and thus feat seekers etc. Oda gave Sanji so much development, 2 backstories and thus multiple arcs for a reason ofc. And his own official spinoff crossover series too.
Sanji has always been Odas true self insert, they are so similar and Oda is probably writing from a very personal space with him, a lot of what we see with Sanji might be what Oda has experienced in his own ways and feels deep down. I've always felt Sanji was the SH I could relate and connect with the most when I started OP and then Brook came along and that was also similar for me for different yet some similar reasons too.
Not even Luffy himself has had this much development. Law and Sanji have been absolutely winning and laughing post TS.
