I also disagree. I think they had a good idea of where it was going for the first few seasons. I do think that once the Cylons join them they don't really have an idea of what to do with it though. The ending is a bit of a mess. I'd also agree that a lot of the B plots are not the best, and are just filler, and clearly didn't have a big plan, but what show doesn't have this? The main plot is pretty cohesive and consistent at least up to season 3, and I'd argue a lot of that was solid too.
I think, if you want to argue they didn't have a plan, you have to reconcile that with the fact that they had secret characters working against the fleet that were hinted at for quite a long time before they were confirmed. They clearly had a long and carefully designed plan. There's just an issue that they have to fill time, so they also have some stupid filler plots that don't go anywhere. I think most of these are fine though. They still add character and depth.
