This has been my reaction to most of the criticisms: give it time. Spruce forests are beautiful and magical places once they are aged. Those rectangular boundaries will smooth out naturally the way flora does. Having grown up in old spruce forest, I would attest that it will be valued greatly in a couple generations. They are great places to play in and really spark the imagination. One issue with reforesting places is that many people just aren't used to what comes with forests - sight lines are obscured and inconvenient animals (some dangerous) tend to take refuge in them. But that's what comes with forest.
