How are you finding driving the Jimny after having quick cars.
I want to make the plunge into a buying a 4x4, but I'm unsure if I'll hate daily driving after having hot hatches...

Mines not a daily drive, just a weekend toy. If you are driving any sort of distance then the Jimny is not great in my opinion. It starts to struggle at anything over 60mph and does like to wander around a bit. Its not terrible but its not great either. Its a hoot to drive but personally I wouldn't want to use it every day (although plenty of people do).

Are the newer Jimnys the same? Mine is a 2000(W) plate so I just assumed that the newer Jimnys were a bit better for everyday driving.

IMO the 2005+ are way better, I tried pre 2005 jimnys before I got an 2005. My stock sj413k was better that the 2000 jimny. .seriously it was

That's good then cause after about 4 weeks of owning the 2000 Jimny I'm quite hooked on it. I'm even considering upgrading to a newer one as a daily drive when my current daily drive goes back at the end of next year.
