They've made it so that any class can pick locks / disarm traps with Sleight of Hand and a good dexterity score.
And I'd say thats better as up until now in DnD games you always needed a rogue. Now you can use a ranger or even a dex based fighter or such to get traps and locks with.
Rogues are still very useful, the extra bonus actions and sneak damage still make them very useful, I still don't want to remove Astarion from my group for those things alone.
I still find what I never need is a fighter, in fact you dont even need a healer in this game so far (potions are abundant).
