“Too Combative” and “Too Sneering” seem really similar to me?
Sad to see “Insightful” go, it might not have been used that much, but that was part of the reason why it felt valuable. If you saw that react, then probably the person who’d used it thought that there was something exceptionally insightful about the comment.
I think I semi-agree with your perception, but I did have a recent experience to the contrary: when I did a throwaway post about suddenly noticing a distinction in the reaction UI, I found it very odd that some people marked the central bit “Insightful”. Like, maybe it’s useful to them that I pointed it out, but it’s a piece of UI that was (presumably) specifically designed that way by someone already! There’s no new synthesis going on or anything; it’s not insightful. (Or maybe people wanted to use it as a test of the UI element, but then why not the paperclip or the saw-that eyes?)

I think the light bulb icon is the correct icon for “Good point!”. If I can find another good image for insightful I’ll probably add it back
I also liked Insightful, though agree with all other changes.
