Yeah, I was similarly impressed with how the article doesn't really try to throw anyone under the bus except Tsujihara & Whedon, of course--neither of whom anyone is racing to defend these days
Snyder was surprisingly understanding towards the job that Berg & Johns we given to babysit him.
It'll be interesting to see how much of the humor and lightness that Johns reportedly inserted with his own rewrites we'll see in this cut. I'm sure Snyder's JL is still going to be filled with his usual dark & gloomy stuff, but I suspect that it'll be balanced out this time with more levity.
Another interesting tidbit is the idea that Whedon's cut was a whopping
2/3 new material. That's the highest percentage I've seen reported thus far. We knew that certain elements were clearly added to the movie like virtually all of Superman's scenes, Batman's introduction, the team interactions in the Batcave, and the Russian family, but I had no idea that the vast majority of the film wasn't Snyder, which has got to be against the DGA rules given that Snyder's name is still there as director.
