Every other B product of that era is vastly superior as far as cockpit design is concerned. They put out the new B757/767/777 around the same time. The biggest one: the B747-400. Same type rating as the -300 and look at the cockpit:

Having said that, and having read the Lion Air report, there is plenty of butter to pass around. It took the FO 4 minutes to find the MEMORY ITEMS IN THE QRH (!!!), while talking to ATC about headings and altitudes. Training & checking (because I don't believe it is just a training issue) needs to improve big time.
Daar ben ik het volledig mee eens
or: I agree wholeheartedly.
