Felt like ending was just closure, it didn't bring anything new to the tale. Everything we thought was going to happen did.
With respect to the New Yorker article posted I think its a nice take on the ending but incredibly wrong. Some people over anylize situations and just strecth everything. I won't bore you with details but he mentions how Walt could have made contact with his wife, and yet the neo-nazis did enter her home?
I think they blew their wad when they killed Hank. That was the real shocker. The last episode was just to tie up all up. While I enjoyed the ending, I do think they went the safe route.
Great ending. Rip Walt
Interesting take on the ending.

If you don't subcribe to the Walt-dies-in-the-car theory (I think it's ridiculous), there's always The Onion's brilliant take on it:
