Motivation:
Overall, I am very satisfied with the review process. The handling editor appeared to be very active in searching for reviewers, which lead to quite a fast review. The reviewer comments received in the first round were thorough, and the suggestions made were quite reasonable, leading to a stronger manuscript as a result.

Rejected
Motivation:
there were no positives really. Manuscript was sent to two reviewers, the journal rejected it after the first review came in, so they did not even give it a fair chance of review. Not to mention that the first review could have been from a journal editor, so there is no way of telling. it was frustrating indeed. would not submit any work there in the future.

Motivation:
Did take quite long for receiving the review, but after asking the editor about the status, he responded quickly that it takes some time because they search for reviewers that are willing to actually have a look at the software and not just the paper. After the review, the process was very quick.
