I too published in MDPI (Journal of Developmental Biology) and received a review that in two cycles resulted in a manuscript that I am proud of. I applied for and was accepted as an associate editor of JDB and, so far, have not been asked to handle any manuscripts. I am also an AE at PLoS One and have found their practices to be similar to JDB, however in a much larger scale. I so far do not regret publishing in JDB and may consider doing so in the future.
