But, despite not being as annoying as her character became, and though I was encouraged that she could rehabilitate herself and become non-annoying again if given a bit of a chance (a la Spike), I was still glad to see her dead.

 I just find brooding, depressed Angel boring as hell, and her character was really good at getting him past the bullshit and snapping him out of funks.  With the exception of Spike, none of the other characters really have that much of an impact on Angel. Fred is still afraid of him to some extent, Gunn has gone off over to the dark side, and Angel doesn't trust Wes.  Though a combination of Spike and Anya did replace Cordelia back on Buffy, so I guess Spike can do it again on Angel.
