I liked rep. It was nice to see the number rise a little bit, and see a kind comment about something I've done or said. It also felt like a simple and direct way to show appreciation to somebody else.
That said, I'm not sad about it going. I can see how low numbers might make people feel inferior (or vice-versa, high numbers making them feel superior), or high numbers intimidate new members. I also felt like negative rep could really discourage people and often wasn't very constructive. Personally I've never given any negative rep, only positive and occasionally neutral.
