There are literally hundreds of issues with all versions of Cura. Missing features and things that don’t work correctly. See https://github.com/ultimaker/issues. Each new version of Cura has fixes for some issues, but new issues get reported constantly (many of which are issues with previous versions too).
The release notes contain a list of fixes in 4.0. Most of these fixes are issues with 3.6.
Does that mean you cannot use 3.6 if you prefer it? No. Use what you like. But be aware that there are issues with it that are fixed in Cura 4 that will not be fixed in Cura 3.6. One example is that supports have a tendency to extend all the way to the buildplate, even if they encounter a piece of the model that does not need support.
PS: if you are asking this because you don’t like the new UI, try the Sidebar GUI plugin from the Marketplace.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
