Simple noite: Emma is with Hook and that simply needs to accepted. I don't even like Hook, but even the stedfast Neal lover should know that whatever poor writing that affected Hook and Emma would come back around and still  affect Neal and Emma. Neal and Emma might have your favorite potential, but you do have to remeber the writers are still the same. Changing a character won;t make any bad situation into an awesome one without changing the writing. It wouldn't be exactly the same though, as Neal and Hook have different personalities, and their relationship with Emma is different (first love and father of Henry VS hot rouge met in FTL). Those things alone would change how things played out somewhat. Of course, but Neal being with Emma wouldn't be a saving grace for the show and it would only hurt more since a better character only can fall down harder. As you see with totally fine characters as Snow and David and even Rumple, how they all fell into poor writing spots (or stayed there). Making it Neal wouldn't make things amazing, but only slightly more sound, until they break characters as they like to do these days.
