2. JJ Abrams's last film was Star Trek Into Darkness; and the rest of his filmography isn't exactly stellar.

2. JJ didn't grow up as a Trek fan, so he didn't have the same passion, love, and care for the series as he did very much for Star Wars.

Besides, Into Darkness's problems had to do with its script, not or barely with its director. I can say I liked all of Abrams' films I've seen so far (I haven't seen Super 8 yet), so I'm confident that it will at least be fun and not "skip to the battles" boring, like the prequels were.
