I hated the ending.
I feel like when it comes to these finale's writers try to hard to give you the "anti-finale" as I like to call it and not an actual ending as we all would like to se. We all want closure for these characters and these story arc's but the writers feel that it would be too easy to go that route so they come up with the most abstract ways of "closure". Too many shows have done that.
What more did you want to see? You can't get closure because the characters' lives don't end. They continue on even though you can't see it. This was a great ending. We got to see where the characters we cared about were heading into their future(screw Harry). You don't need to see Don pitching the Coke commercial because it doesn't matter. He found what he was looking for on his road trip and the ad at the end very obviously implies he went back to Mckann Ericcson. He continued his brilliance and rekindled his passion for the job that he had lost as the seasons progressed.
Agreed. Plus the only one who had an "abstract", blurry end to the episode was Don but as most have said we think he used the retreat experience to come up with the great ad. This dude seems to always need some sort of vacation, trip to California to get away.
