Motivation:
Two reviewers made some constructive suggestions, but the editors added several remarks that went far beyond the reviewers request (which kind of felt strange as their reviews were not double blinded). The criticism was helpful, yet, could also have been addressed in another revision.
The journal was rather slow in handling the manuscript; decisions about the initial submission and the revision were only sent out when more than four months have passed and I asked about the status

Motivation:
Excellent, personal communication with journal's office. Speedy reviews. Mixed quality of reviews: one from external reviewe (very good quality), another from one of the editors (poor quality, offensive tone). Production process at Springer was a complete desaster: someone in India added multiple errors to the manuscript.
