While I agree with the general thrust of your report and some of the specific points you make, I think you are being a little harsh.
I think their food is some of the best in the air - but admittedly I've always received my first choice even when seated right near the back. Their selection of wines is always interesting and it's not everyday you can find Swiss wines.
As for the foot box, I'm 192cm tall (6'4") with size 15 (I think 50 in EU language) plates of meat and I've always slept well. The Austrian equivalent does seem to be better in this regard - Agreed (however I've not flown long haul with them).
The IFE screen is small, but it has reasonable content. If you give Swiss a 3/10 I'd hate to see what you give Air China!
Personally - I think the cabin looks modern, smart and very Swiss.
