I can't understand the sentence "Right to the point on both counts." It comes from a comment by user Eric in SO:
Right to the point on both counts. Thanks. I didn't like it either, but was looking for ammo to defend my point. Since one rarely types JS code interactively, there isn't much benefit to the short form. – Eric
I am not a native English speaker, so I have difficulty understanding the sentence above. I have referred to some dictionaries and translator, but I still don't know how to understand it? So I want to know its meaning in simple words.
I have known that the meaning of "on both counts" is "for both issues", but I can't understand "Right to the point".

From gymglish:
You'll most often see the phrase to describe someone who doesn't add a lot of extra commentary or rigamarole.
In the context of a StackOverflow answer, it means the poster answered the question quickly and without additional commentary or detail.
From Longman:
This means that the commenter thought the answer was short and direct for both relevant points.
Having read the linked StackOverflow answer, I'm not entirely sure where "both" is coming from since I don't see two specific points -- but that's what the phrase means.
