I rather liked Fitz as well, and the reasons for some of his more unappealing traits are part of the storyline and well explained. He's certainly a much more emotionally fulfilled by the end.
I'd never heard about the hatemail because of the Fool....but I think the Fool explains pretty well why being a 'couple' with Fitz would never work.
I'm content with Fitz's story being done....but I'd be fascinated to see the Fool's story continue.
