What is the exit from Brussels like now?

Now that the "immigration" check for Belgium is done at Waterloo,
there's no queue to get off the platform, but often a queue for the
lifts down to the concourse. If you carry on past the lifts there's an
escalator (or maybe travelator, I forget which) down, which isn't
crowded, but dumps you quite a long way from anywhere you need to be,
necessitating a u-turn and walk back (a bit like MML at St Pancras at
the moment, but worse).

The only time I went, the queue seemed to go along half of the train,
and took around 40 minutes to get through the barrier, I only had a 1
hour connection, and needed to buy an onward ticket as well so was a bit
worried about getting it.

Was that when they were checking passports at Brussels?
