If GVA could increase the number of available sockets - either European or British, especially including USB ports, I would feel much better disposed to the lounge overall. I also have to say that the lounge guardians can be somewhat abrupt, but the staff serving and clearing in the lounge have always been 100% polite and friendly in my experience.
I was surprised to sit at the table with holes for cables in it but no power plugs underneath.

A useful travel tip here would be to have a European 2-prong plug for most of your electronics, if available. Apple gear is nice in that you can plug different power plugs to their chargers, so I just pick up my UK laptop charger, and EU USB charger, and can swap the plugs between both as I change countries or need to charge different things.

EDIT: I should mention that the 2-prong EU plug works in Switzerland, which is why I did mention it.
