It was perfect in terms of character conclusions and delivering emotionally and that was more important to me. Getting to see so many old faces in the flash sideways was great (although some characters like Danielle and Alex should have been in the finale too, though they did reappear in the final season at least). I never did get the whole thing with the light at the heart of the Island and I had some issues with why some characters were and weren't in the final church scene (and Shannon being Sayid's soulmate rather than Nadia didn't work for me) but those are minor gripes with what was on the whole a very emotionally satisfying conclusion. The final shot of Jack dying with Vincent by his side and his eye closing (the whole sequence mirroring the very first scene of the Pilot when he woke up) was just perfect.
Did you ever think of it like this, though:

Spoiler:

The scene doesn't just mirror the first scene... it could run into it. Jacks eyes close in those final seconds... fade to black... *pop* you're back at the first scene. Jacks eyes spring open. Because it's Purgatory so it just continues to loop like that, over and over, for infinity, and Lost never ends.

No, because Jack isn't dead at the start of episode 1 and they leave the island in season 4.

Or those characters felt that they had "unfinished business" that was part of their purgatory and they were never really back in the world...

I dunno I only watched it through once, on the original run, my memory of it probably has gaps
