Thoughts on Joel Fagliano's current stint as Crossword Editor?

How are people finding the puzzles overall since Fagliano has taken over while Will Shortz recovers? I personally have found some of the themes in the past couple of weeks fairly lacklustre and some of the cluing and fill a bit clunky at times. I feel as though I'm definitely feeling Shortz's absence. Though admittedly, I don't know how much of that is due to the editor or the individual puzzle constructor as I don't know enough about the editing process.

Curious to see what other people think though, I'm definitely not trying to throw shade at Joel or any of the constructors, just wondering if the change I'm noticing is genuine or some kind of placebo effect.
