I think the comments are mostly a couple of trolls arguing with each other via improbably named sock puppets.
The review on the other hand I thought was surprisingly informed. I'm very excited and impressed by the work LibreOffice are doing (and again I'm impressed the reviewer was even aware of this work) but I agree that for end-users the fruit of that work has still to fully appear.

I agree.
I think the dissonance between what TDF calls a milestone and what the reviewers see stems from their different view points. For the devs it's a milestone as it drastically improves the code base. The user-visible changes are rather secondary to that.

For what it's worth, the reason for the bump in version number is that they removed a lot of old APIs. It's all documented here:
