Latest review

First review round: 9.6 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good). Outcome: Accepted.

Motivation:
Very good experience. Some of the reviews were a bit intense but the reviewer implied in their message that they didn't expect us to consider some of the recommendations. It took some effort with two revisions before an acceptance in principle, but the editor was very helpful.
