Why? I have never once felt compelled to write a review for any Apple
product on the Mac App Store, except for a negative review for 10.8
Server.

Like most people, I am thousands of times more likely to leave a review
if I have a criticism to make, even if the overall review is positive:

"Really love this product, 4.5 stars, but it needs more cowbell."
