I don't like it because I think HN/YC should be a place to voice unpopular opinions.
I think it's fine to downvote an opinion you don't like. The whole purpose of upvote/downvote would be more to 'bump' opinions you think is useful. I sometimes upvote an opinion I disagree with if I think it should be more visible. But I think most people just use it as a boo/cheer button.
