According to whom as it's leagues above the original on all aspects, I don't count the salt views that are just there for shade. I can go into detail in why it's better than the original and can do a comparision with it and Nier if you want.

According to myself and those I know who have played both games. I've played both Bayonetta 1 and 2 to completion. *shrug*

I can't think of a single aspect that makes it better outside of the graphical increases.

I can for a start the weapon sets actually actually have strategic roles to them unlike some of the overlapping sets in the original leading to more variety and styles in approach to combat, the mechanics are properly balanced in B2 unlike B1 where in the former the system is overarching where you master the fundamentals and then bend the system to not only your style of play but to the situation you're facing. This meant that the player had to experiment more with their sets unlike in the first game where it wasn't balanced properly resulting in players sticking to one set of weapons for every occasion. Extra mechanical refinements in B2 also allow for new layers of tech for example the change to the Umbran Spear move allows players to offset attacks using it which allows the player to buffer attacks or combos even though they're teleporting. Enemies, Bosses, Ai etc... are all superior but that's expected.
