From someone with a few hours of experience in 1.05:
Inferno is vastly easier than before - at mp0. My (under-geared) barbarian was struggling a bit in late Act 1 before the patch and steamrolled up to the Butcher (2min kill achievement) with no trouble after 1.05. Also thanks to some upgrades he found on the way.
If you plan on levelling another char, that's a lot more fun now that you can adjust the game to a difficulty you want. If you have some nice twinking gear, the higher mp settings speed up the process considerably. If not, you can make it at least interesting or challenging, according to taste.
The patch sure reignited my desire to play, better drop rates all around also make the game feel more "diablo-ish", in my opinion. You'll find something you can use (depending on your current gear level, of course) faster than before.
YMMV, but I'd recommend diving back in again for a bit.
take care
