Why the Change of the Up/Downvote system?

To the moderators,
Why has the design of the upvote/downvote changed?

With the old system we could at least do a simple poll system, but this new one just doesn't really work.

I find it more informative that 15 people find my comment helpful and 15 don't, rather than "0". Seems self-defeating really.

The Q&A section is converting to a proper forum soon (11th March). Very likely it will include a more sophisticated voting system, as well as being able to host proper polls.

What I've seen from early access is that they will work more like proper forums with dedicated sections instead of an all-inclusive, uniquelly Q&A only area. This will make it easier to filter out unwanted posts and relocate threads according to their content and relevance. However, so far it only allows to like posts with no downvote option available but I don't know if this will be changed on public release
