Edit: Personally, I like the hover feature as it takes focus away from the vote score. But most people are obviously used to the way reddit does things.
I also am really surprised by how much I like having to hover to see the vote score. It allows me a chance, even if it's just for a moment, to make my own judgement on the comment without having an immediate bias.
Yes, vote scores have a much bigger impact on our perception than we really realize. They're very conducive to things like 'circlejerks' and the 'hivemind'.
