Overall - yes, I loved it. And I don't know how else he could have ended it without making it smarmy. But still - Joss? Get a prescription for Welbutrin. Seriously.
Over on his Wikipedia entry there's a quote from Joss about killing off characters, that he would rather have fans say "Why'd they kill (that guy)? I liked him!" than "Oh. He's dead? Turn the page!" It seems to me then that he sees fans upset at a character's death as a sort of validation for his writing. Which, in a twisted way, makes sense.

ETA 2: Guys, I really did like it - don't revoke my geek license!
