But not all commentators are convinced that this represents a huge step forward.
What does former chancellor and now Evening Standard editor George Osborne, who is always free with his opinions when it comes to Theresa May's leadership, make of the reshuffle?
Laura Kuenssberg says the reshuffle did not "entirely go to script" given that of the three ministers she wanted to move, one quit, one persuaded her that he should stay and the other wasn't even asked to move.
At the end of the day, she says the cabinet does not look very different from how it did this morning in terms of its gender balance and diversity.
While this was never intended to be a transformative moment - since the key figures in the PM's top team were all staying put - the BBC's political editor says No 10 will hope that day two of the reshuffle on Tuesday, when we will see changes to junior and middle ranks - goes more smoothly.
It is now clear that Nicholas Soames, who is of course Winston Churchill's grandson, is not that happy with today's developments.
Andrea Leadsom and Liz Truss are expected to stay in their positions in government, the BBC understands.
The prime minister is likely to have conversations confirming this with them on the phone later this evening.
Andrea Leadsom is currently the Leader of the House of Commons and Liz Truss is Chief Secretary to the Treasury. Both attend cabinet.
Jeremy Corbyn has told a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party that the reshuffle was a "pointless and lacklustre" PR stunt.
"In 2018, the impact of Tory austerity is hitting home with the public, most tragically with the most serious NHS winter crisis yet," he said.
"And yet the government's big plan for the new year is to dodge the real issues and reshuffle the pack in a pointless and lacklustre PR exercise. It's simply not good enough. You can't make up for nearly eight years of failure by changing the name of a department."
Former Conservative minister Nicholas Soames has a typically idiosyncratic take on the cabinet reshuffle.
Here is the list of Theresa May's full cabinet, based on the appointments that have been announced.
Prime Minister: Theresa May
Chancellor: Philip Hammond
Home Secretary: Amber Rudd
Foreign Secretary: Boris Johnson
Brexit Secretary: David Davis
Defence Secretary: Gavin Williamson
Northern Ireland Secretary: Karen Bradley
Justice Secretary: David Gauke
Health and Social Care Secretary: Jeremy Hunt
Conservative chairman: Brandon Lewis
Business and Energy Secretary: Greg Clark
Housing and Communities Secretary: Sajid Javid
Culture, Media and Sports Secretary: Matt Hancock
International Trade Secretary: Liam Fox
Transport Secretary: Chris Grayling
Environment Secretary: Michael Gove
Leader of the House of Lords: Baroness Evans
Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster: David Lidington
International Development Secretary: Penny Mordaunt
Education Secretary: Damian Hinds
Work and Pensions Secretary: Esther McVey
Welsh Secretary: Alun Cairns
Scottish Secretary: David Mundell
Other ministers with the right to attend cabinet:
Attorney General: Jeremy Wright
Immigration Minister: Caroline Nokes
Minister of State for Business and Energy: Claire Perry
Let's recap on a few appointments we missed earlier.
Alun Cairns keeps his job as secretary of state for Wales while Jeremy Wright remains as attorney general.
Claire Perry is the new minister of state for business, energy and industry and, in that capacity, gets the right to attend cabinet.
The Devizes MP was seen as a protege of George Osborne. She quit her job as rail minister after David Cameron's resignation in July 2016.
But the pro-Remain MP rejoined the government last summer and is regarded as having done a good job since then as energy minister.
Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner has wished her former counterpart Justine Greening well after her surprise resignation.
The Lib Dems have issued a somewhat more pointed response, suggesting Ms Greening had been "pushed out".
"The only rational explanation would be that this is an acknowledgement that the Conservatives have a failed schools policy," said the party's leader Vince Cable.
Esther McVey is the new secretary of state for work and pensions, No 10 has announced.
This is a big cabinet promotion for the former minister, who lost her seat at the 2015 election but was re-elected in 2017 and has been a whip since November.
Jeremy Hunt has had some quick explaining to do after he appeared to like a tweet confirming that Justine Greening had quit the cabinet.
As it turns out, it all appears to have been a case of fat finger.
David Mundell is reappointed as Secretary of State for Scotland.
He was appointed in 2015 when the Tories only had one MP in Scotland but has retained the role even though the party has considerable more representation now after June's election.
Justine Greening has told the BBC she will continue to work outside government to do everything she can to promote equality of opportunity "for young people wherever they are growing up and whatever their circumstances".
After her surprise exit from office, she said "social mobility matters to me and our country more than a ministerial career - especially to young people".
The BBC understands she was reluctant to be moved from her role less than a month after launching the government's social mobility strategy, and after Jeremy Hunt was allowed to argue to stay in his role at Health.
Claire Perry has arrived at Downing Street. This suggests the energy minister is in line for a promotion.
Education Secretary Justine Greening's departure won't help attempts to improve the gender balance in the cabinet.
Before the reshuffle she was one of only six full members of the cabinet and Theresa May clearly was keen to keep her within her top team, albeit not in the job she wanted.
Ms Greening, who was also minister for women and equalities, revealed she was in a same sex relationship in June 2016 when she was international development secretary.
Prior to that, she was transport secretary, having been MP for the south-west London constituency of Putney since 2005.
Damian Hinds is the new education secretary, replacing Justine Greening who has quit the government.
Mr Hinds was previously an employment minister.
Who could replace Justine Greening at education?
Employment minister Damian Hinds has been in Downing Street for more than an hour while Esther McVey, a former minister who is currently in the whip's office, has just entered No 10.
Education Secretary Justine Greening has quit the government after refusing a job at Work and Pensions.

The reshuffle isn't over, but we already know that it was not just the prime minister who had her say today, but her ministers too.
Jeremy Hunt, who has stayed as health secretary, and Greg Clark, who has stayed as business secretary, were both in No 10 for more than an hour this afternoon.
I understand that rather than meekly accepting whatever was being dangled before him (at least one of the likely jobs was a move to become business secretary, possibly a job swap with Greg Clark) the Health Secretary in fact argued his case for staying put and expanding his role to take on planning for the future of social care in England.
Michael Gove remains as secretary of state for the environment, food and rural affairs. He leaves No 10 briskly and gets into his ministerial car, undoubtedly keen to get back to work.
Another minister staying in her job is Penny Mordaunt as international development secretary.
To be fair, she has only been doing the role since early November, when she succeeded Priti Patel.
The environment secretary Michael Gove has entered No 10. There are still several big jobs up for grabs, including work and pensions and his old stomping ground of education. But it would be a big surprise if he was to move from his current role.
Chris Grayling has been re-appointed as transport secretary, it is confirmed.
At one point this morning, it looked like he would become Tory party chairman but he retains a job he has held since July 2016.
BBC political editor
Jeremy Hunt argued "strongly and passionately" to stay on in his job as Secretary of State for Health, the BBC understands.
In what was a "fluid" situation, Mr Hunt was able to "persuade" the prime minister not just that he should stay at health but also take on responsibility for the future of social care policy, which was being developed by the Cabinet Office.
It is understood the discussion between the prime minister and Mr Hunt had "knock on" effects on the rest of the reshuffle.
It’s understood he did not stay at health because Greg Clark refused to move. Sources close to Mr Clark say, in fact, that Theresa May did not discuss him leaving his role this afternoon.
As predicted, Liam Fox is staying put as Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade.
Matt Hancock is the new Secretary of State for culture, media, digital and sport.
