I see a lot of people who didn't like Neal so much, but would have rather have him instead of Hook as Emma's love interest, so my question is do you think it would have been the opposite if Neal stayed? That people would have  rathered have Hook instead? i would say no. The big reason Neal is missed as much as he is, is because of his history and connection to the core characters (Rumple's son, Henry's father)......Hook didn't have that. He was just a side character who wouldn't have been missed.
