Quality of cartoons has slumped for several reasons. I have for instance seen newer Warner Brothers cartoons but they haven't got the same "feel" to them. Something is missing, not quite right or something and it is difficult to articulate and say exactly what.
I think one of the major problems has to do with Political Correctness NINNIES out there who do not want cartoons to show violence because parents who choose to work instead of raising their children, blame violence depicted in cartoons, TV shows, Movies, Video Games and Computer games for incidents when their badly behaved little hell-raisers commit acts of violence against their siblings, friends or others.
Kids don't get values through osmosis; values have to be taught.
And it is ridiculous that court cases are won where parents trying to excuse the bad behavior of their kid and their own negligent parenting from seeing Bugs Bunny clobber Elmer Fudd over the head with a wooden mallet too many times.
As ridiculous as it is, they are winning and they have really toned down a lot of the antics that made those old cartoons funny.
The limits I can see are in older CGI movies. The technology changes too fast, the CGI studios of Pixar and others has to keep pace. Movies released 10 years ago are obvious. Computing power and rendering was a little different and it is apparent on older CGI based cartoons. It is the way I meant that they are limited and will appear so as time continues.
I think a whole new secondary industry will be created in re-working those older films and the owners will find ways to give you four or five editions of the same movie based upon the 3-D modeling they will use to update it.
Which type of animation is better...?

If it's so limited (thus easier to make), why aren't there anymore good cartoons?
What happened to Tom an Jerry? Road Runner? Pinky and the Brain?
