I hated it on traditional forums, where it inevitably got to the point where the comment was "meh, i dunno" and then the person's signature was 150px high, and the forum engine only display 10 of these at a time. Minimal interfaces with quality indicators like Hacker News or old Reddit are so much more useful, and the sub-threads are much more visible because of the tree structure.
