Firstly, we’re really glad that you like the new forum, it was a long overdue update!
Regarding the voting limit - good spot! 
To be honest, we’re still feeling out the voting system and the limits that are in place, and as you say a finite number of votes does change the thought process significantly, but that isn’t to say we will be sticking with a limited number going forward.
If you could bear with us for a few more days until we finalise all the details, we will then update the Feature Suggestion categories with some more information on the voting system.
As an aside, another neat feature we’re introduced is the ability to mark a reply as a solution in the troubleshooting categories which should make things a lot easier for people stumbling across the topic for the first time - see this post for an example.
