This was published on their own website, it is therefore biased toward a good perception of them. It doesn't seem to be a fair and independent review to help build an opinion.

And these were not published on their website:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.10277.pdf

http://proceedings.mlr.press/v37/regier15.pdf

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1803.00113.pdf

I had to go so far as to read the project Github page to find them.

In all those papers, there at least one member of the team in the author list, or a member of a partner organization (Intel, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, etc). I wouldn't call them fair independent reviews of the language.

Are you really complaining that the people writing about the tool are the ones developing it?

Whose opinion do you want, the Pope? Would a divine sanction be enough for you?
