For myself...it was Predators and Prey that things began to fall off a bit, although I apparently like Harmonic Divergence more than most people seemed to, and Predators and Prey (Buffy/Andrew tale)more than everyone else. The weak ones in that arc were Satsu/Kennedy, Giles/Faith, and Jeff Loeb's cartoon dream.
I was okay with Retreat until they went into the battle...and it fell apart.
I think Goddard and Whedon are also working on Cabin in the Woods together, so they probably spent more time together hatching out the plot. Vaughn, I know worked closely with Whedon on his. The others? I'm not sure about. And that may well be part of the problem.
From the poll - most of the readers who gave up on the comics - did so, either because of "Long Way Home" - which they really didn't like, or "Retreat". So the group that read, then gave up completely, can be sort of split into two groups - the group that didn't like the comics from the get-go, and the group that liked them up to Retreat...and got fed up in that arc. But it's hard to know for certain - people insist on being unique about this, and refuse to be pigeon-holed (which I can well appreciate) so as far as I can tell - no real consensus.
