I wouldn't mind being told that expressing appreciation of writing style alone is frowned upon.

It's a matter of how it's done. The more analytic and descriptive it is of what was good and how it worked, the better a reaction it's likely to get.

I would guess that this was downvoted by someone misreading it as an attack, interpreting the laughing as considering it worth ridicule.
