It's all a matter of how you prefer to ride. I don't see it as
either good or bad.
A bit of front end dip is a good feedback signal to the rider
with regards to how much braking is being applied, BMW found
that out and dialed in a bit of it with the TeleLever front end.
It helps keep you from locking up the front wheel on hard
braking inadvertently.
Quickening the steering on turn-in allows better
maneuverability, a good thing in most circumstances, but too
much reduction in trail can lead to loss of dynamic stability:
the rider has to work harder and be more skillful in that case.
Most street bikes have relatively moderate geometries as a
practical compromise between maneuverability and dynamic
stability.
