On the subject of imperfections, note that LH style F seats can easily be found on UAX as well, in the end it all balances (or balanced) out pretty much.
The OS VIE lounge is relatively small and can be quite crowded, very different from LH FRA. I don't believe they offer day passes or credit card-based access, so the crowding would be caused by a size / passenger load mismatch. LH seems to be better at this with most of their lounges but are not perfect.
