One thing I don't understand (I'm relatively new, I guess): are comments in a thread sorted according to upvotes? If they are, my vote is for without points, because then I can still skim, but I won't have these numbers to focus on.

Ordering depends on age and votes. I.e. new comments and top comments are sort of interleaved.

That doesn't help for long nested threads.
