To call the /. system more primitive seems weird. After all, you don't simply up or down vote, you are given a small number of votes, and you can pick between various terms (with attached values) to use on each vote. But the big deal is that: A) the most used term is attached to the comment. B) it caps out at a +5 upvote. The caps in particular makes vote brigading (/r/shitredditsays anyone?) harder, though not impossible.
