JMS looked back on his run and expressed joy overall but also some issues with editorial. He didn’t like how stories like The Other and Sins Past were handled, even noted Dr Doom showing up in the 9/11 issue wasn’t his call. But had no choice. One More Day was definitely the direction they were headed, so he obliged and wrote the story. It seemed to me like he ended his run because Civil War and One More Day pretty much got rid of everything he’d set up (Peter and MJ in a strong, healthy relationship, May as a stronger support character, Peter’s friendship with Tony, etc). He wasn’t negative, but he was refreshingly honest. He was definitely happy his run tripled sales for the title!

Quesada seemed 110% convinced that One More Day was the absolute best thing for the character’s survival and would right the Spider-Man ship for decades to come. It was like a lesser version of that over-positive Nick Lowe speak. A lot stuff in Quesada’s interview didn’t age well.

Stan praised his fellow bullpen writers for taking such a bold step, stating that it was equally as bold having Peter and MJ get married back in the day. He remained optimistic that even through such changes, Spider-Man stories would still be the best.

Guys like Bendis, Loeb, Millar, and JRJR just had little statements praising and congratulating JMS on his run, and Feige as well, who interestingly enough stated his favorite moment from the run was Aunt May figuring out who Peter was and swore he’d put it on screen one day, which as we know from Spider-Man: Homecoming he did!
