He downloaded Budgie and a lot his 4.7 review was Budgie-specific, instead of 4.7-specific.
some of the sections were brutal, to me:
"Even the two settings panels are opposite to each other. The Budgie Control Centre (aka GNOME Settings) uses a light theme, but the Budgie Desktop Settings panel uses a dark theme. There are two file managers - Nemo uses a light theme throughout by default while Caja looks completely broken with black text on a black background in the main pane while the menu bar uses a light theme. This makes for a jarring visual experience throughout the desktop when using the default theme. "
Budgie theming was the punching bag of his next paragraph as well.
some of this has been remedied already and some of this we know the workaround.
But it's OK, it was a 'warts-and-all' review with the 'conclusion' section being most sobering.
