I’d appreciate it if clicking on the regular upvote / downvote didn’t open the more complex dialog, and rather just did a simple up / down vote, and instead there was a button to access the more detailed voting. That way, by default, voting is easy and I can ignore the more nuanced system unless I deliberately wanted to use it.
(Also, since we’re on the topic of the voting UI, I’ve mentioned to multiple members of the LW team that strong upvoting is broken on iPad, since the OS says long press = select text. On iPhone, a different gesture is used, but it’s activated based on screen size, so it doesn’t work on iPad. This should be easily fixable by simply adding a check for OS that makes the double-tap always work on iOS (though things are often not as simple as one may expect). I’m a little frustrated that this hasn’t been fixed yet, though I also understand that dev resources are limited)
