This is scary. This was a well coordinated attack that usually create a lot of chatter before hand. Unlike lone wolf attacks these are somewhat easier to detect.

The French intelligence and counter terrorism units are either not doing their best or these terrorist are getting much better at covering their tracks.

I don't think that's an effective attitude to take in response to events like this. The job of intelligence agencies is to minimize the risk of attacks like this, not to eliminate it. The more governments think they can actually eliminate the risk, the more we all suffer.
