I tend to agree with that. I only discovered X-Men when Uncanny was at 267. After buying the Lee Omni I can see the whole thing started to go downhill after 269 even before Claremont left. The initial 3 issues of X-Men adjectiveless seem so lame and contrived to me now, though I thought they were great at the time. And the rushed end to the Shadow King saga, which I was really enjoying, always bugged me, and does so more now that I've heard Claremont talk about his plans for it.
Morrison and Whedon were both interesting, X-Treme meh, but once more books started to be added and success came it's way, maintaining the quality was always going to be difficult to impossible. I just want omni's of the Claremont run and also his NM and Excalibur and I'll most likely never read another X-Men again and just use these for my fix.
Edit: Oh Age Of Apocalypse was the single bright spot in the entire 90's. Thinking about it that's prob why I enjioyed Morrison and Whedon. Tight self-contained works.
