I think the best analysis I have read so far explaining the mixed reaction to the finale is this: the Sopranos, for whatever reason, was a show simultaneously able to appeal to those with an appreciation for sophisticated art and film as well as those who just like crime capers and interesting TV shows. The former crowd gets the ending and is thrilled by the genius of it, the TV guys are understandibly pissed at the lack of resolution

What Chase has done is solidify the show's place in history as art, perhaps the crowning artistic achievement of this era. I think the fact that Joe 6-pack feels cheated is of little consequence to him.
