Same. When I first went to Bali in 1994 it was comparatively untouched by tourism, even though it was already a tourist destination for Australians and travellers, it had retained it's own cultural identity.

The last time that I went was in 2009. It was sad to see that Sanur was now essentially a beach resort with an enormous shopping complex, just like any other you could visit anywhere else in the world. Kuta was the same.

There were still places you could go if you traveled outside the southern part of the island, places that had been touched less by tourism. That was 16 years ago though. I imagine in that time it has continued to change just as much as in the first 15 years that I visited the island.
