I've read a similar complaint on RPG Codex and I'm not sure where it comes from.
Almost 20 hours in, level 4 reached and I'm still mostly dressed with "white" common items and a handful of low tier magic items.
Most of the +1 I've seen were limited to vendors' stocks (which used to be filled with powerful artifacts from the get go even in BG2, by the way) and to buy one I had to drain all my savings up to that point.
Also, there's no trace of +2 items anywhere in the game world (as it should be: +2 items are supposed to be a big deal in D&D, especially in low level adventures).
Also, items this time seem to be hand-placed rather than randomly generated.
Once again, as it SHOULD be.
