If you are using a WordPress plugin/theme, and you find it useful, then your positive review can help others users make the right decision because users usually feel less inclined to install and try plugins or themes that has fewer installs with no star ratings. So newer plugins/themes may go unnoticed even if they are good and really useful. With your positive review, you can help more users use that plugin.

Positive reviews help developers find motivation to continue the project and give it their time and skills. However sometimes you can meet some issues with your new installed plugin/theme. Before adding your negative review, you should try to reach out to the plugin author through support tab. Sometimes plugin authors make mistakes, and your support request can prompt them to help you out or quickly release a fix. You can describe the problem with the plugin or theme and add any suggestions you have for the improvement. This helps developers figure out the most wanted features their users need, and they can prioritize those improvements.

All these themes and plugins are open source software so developers of these plugins and themes don’t get paid by WordPress.org for sharing their products. Make sure that you are polite and respectful in your review.
