I'm ok with downvote for stories but it seems the system works pretty good without it: good posts get somehow noticed in "new" and appear in the "top", the inappropriate ones are ignored or flagged. As for comments I would remove the feature entirely: I have never felt the need to downvote a comment even when I strongly disagreed with it and when I think something is stupid I just ignore it: there is no need to tell everyone else it's stupid. Also it really annoys me when I see someone's opinion grayed out and crashed by users that sometimes don't even bother to comment on why they downvoted.
