I think that review is still valid, just we were looking at different things. As a distro for experienced Linux users it's largely fine because you can get things up and running quite quickly but for new users it's not so good.

It only falls apart when you try to match the ambitious claims the website makes against the product itself.

I've had a chat with one of the devs on the project too and he agreed with many of the points raised as items that 'need more work'. So maybe we should keep an eye on Foresight 3.0 (or whatever release comes next).
