Like I'm not saying they're on Goku or Vegeta's level, but there is far more attention given to them than they ever got in Z.
Most of the time they were just background scenery. Or there to die. Piccolo was a little more relevant, but really, outside of a couple power ups which both became useless a few episodes later, he didn't do much outside of training Gohan.
This series just treats the secondary characters better, and gives them cool moments, like Krillen getting established as a strategic expert and his fight with goku, or literally all Master Roshi's scenes in the survival tournament.
