First review round: 10.4 weeks. Overall rating: 4 (very good).
Outcome: Accepted.
Motivation:
We proposed the manuscript to the journal (since it is normally by invitation only). Our proposal was swiftly accepted.
The review process was quick and reasonable. One reviewer seemed to have been selected from our list of proposals, another seemed totally unconnected. The quality of reviews was not outstanding, but decent.
The editors were friendly and encouraging, as well as competent in the field. The whole process was very speedy and we were satisfied with the result. Submission to final decision took about 3 months.
