Yes okay, it is definitely less problematic than it was 40 years ago, but there are still fenced off communities and armored police cars. Things are pretty okay now, but Belfast is still a divided city and always will be. I'm not a native, but I visit regularly and I've never actually met anyone my age who cares about the divide, but I've never met anyone who doesn't acknowledge the divide either.
