No complaints about the ending whatsoever. They could have went with an ambiguous ending such as Jesse picking up the gun when Walt tells him to shoot him, and fading to black as Jesse contemplates whether to kill Walt or not. Then it could have been left to the audience to decide whether Jesse kills Walt, whether Walt succumbs from his wound anyway, whether the police catch him and he goes to jail, etc...
I'm glad they didn't do that and went with a closed arc concept where everything played out in front of you.

Couldn't agree more. The closing of all the loose ends really fits the show, and in my opinion solidifies it as one of the greatest shows of all time. The show has never been 100% realistic, but the ending was, for the most part, grounded in reality. It was so well written, that I can look past the automated gun. Walt series of plans was very Walt. You could tell he had a moment of clarity and knew exactly what he needed to do and how to do it.
