Motivation: The decision was fast - which is good. No reason has been given, though, why the paper was did not make a new contribution ("Although we recognise that there are strengths in your submission, unfortunately the editors judged that this paper did not make such a contribution")

Motivation: Fast review process. One very positive reviewer, one rather negative reviewer. The editor(s) allowed their own interpretation of the article to determine the outcome. Quality of the reviews was rather high.

Motivation: I received three reviews. Two were very enthusiastic suggesting accepting the manuscript after minor revisions, the third was more critical, pointing to problems and missing points that were actually addressed in the manuscript.

Motivation: One reviewer liked the paper, the other one did not. That's always a difficult starting point, but we changed the paper substantially to take on board the second reviewer. After the revisions, the second reviewer still didn't like it and added new criticisms including many that are blatently wrong. Sadly the editor didn't pick up any of this. Given that the journal doesn't do multiple rounds of revisions, that's it.
