Not sure. My experience of Amsterdam trams, and Amsterdam transport in
general, is quite positive.

As is mine - but the location of the rear "kiosk" and the driver mean
that it, like most UK buses, is too slow at the stops because people
have to queue to board.

Given that trams are designed to carry high volumes, this can slow them
down a lot at busy times. It'd make a lot more sense to have the
conductor roaming around the tram selling tickets like they do on many
of the UK systems, if you're going to have one.

OK, it makes it difficult if the tram is wedged, but so do the kiosks.
