If Neal was still alive, I don't think Emma would be together with either Neal or Hook.

Neal may be a little bit jerk, like introducing his fiancee to his ex-girlfriend etc. But the thing is, Emma is not Neal xD

Think about the future. Her ex-boyfriend is her son's father, so Neal would obviously be in Storybrooke. And when Emma and Hook wanted to spend time together, Neal would see them at some point. The relationships would be really complicated and messy. Yes, Neal is not Emma's true love (although I don't care about the system of "true love" in this show), but she does care about Neal, that's a fact. She probably would find someone else lol (which I really wish she would do that)
