I agree. Showing the vote level allowed us to get a better evaluation of comment value. Considerations like "this comment is 'worth' n votes bot not 2n votes, so I will not upvote it" are no longer possible now. Come on : comments are not either good or bad. There are many more quality levels (even thoughsome evaluations are subjective to presented ideas/identity of the poster).
