I loved Zodiac, Snow Crash, The Diamond Age, and Cryptonomicon. I didn't read the Baroque cycle "yet" but it's in my TBR pile.

I did read Anathem and found it incredibly flat. I thought it started strong, but it crashed much earlier than most of his books.

I hate his endings. He creates engaging characters and his world-building is great for the futuristic books. But, man, his ending stink (IMO).

He lost me when the alternative travellers show up (to avoid being too spoilerish).
