I guess with this style of writing everything is open to interpretation. I enjoyed the 6 years immensely although I was hoping for more science and less spirituality. Oh well....

I thought handing the island over to Hugo was fitting. He was a much more appropriate choice. It would be interesting to see how long he actually held the role and what he did with it. Did he guard the island for as long as Jacob did? Longer?
I think that the questions about what happened to this child or that person are aimed in the wrong direction. What happened to Aaron? Maybe he lived a full and happy life with his mother Claire and his aunt Kate. Then, 50 years down the road, he wished them a tearful goodbye in a hospital somewhere. When he died, he was also reunited with his mother in the "in-between" before leaving with the rest of them.
As Christian said, there is no "when". After death, the shackles of time are loosed, and there is only existence. So while some of these people may have died a hundred years apart, in the last scene, there is only the moment, and they all arrive together.
What about widmore's mom? and Ben? Do they still exist? Do they live in the alternate world, and the other people have disappeared. What determines how old they look in that life? In the alternate life, passage of time is implied by aging, so I don't accept that there is no "when."
Also, I don't believe that they died when the plane passed over the island and continued on its course. Their lives were dramatically different before they got on the plane. Hurley wasn't cursed, Ben was a teacher, Sawyer was a cop, etc.

Lost, at it's essence, it's Jack's story. From the very beginning, it was supposed to just be about him. We learned a lot about other characters in the process, and it was a long, in-depth, and wild ride, but the show lived and died with him. Once he died, he moved into this realm before he went into the light and saw the people that be became close with on the island, but their stories didn't seem to matter. We don't know what happened to them, because once Jack died, the story is over.
The flash sideways weren't the real world but just someplace for them to meet up after they all eventually died (and they all died at different times but we will never know exact time of death for characters except for the ones that died on the show). For all we know, Hurley and Ben took care of the island for another good 10+ years.
I personally enjoyed the ending, sure there are lots of questions left and the Island is still mysterious but I kinda like it that way.
1. The Island and what happens on the Island is real
2. There is no sense of time in the parallel universe/dimension, meaning that all the people there died at different times in the "living" dimension
3. Everything is Jack-centric
I like to think everyone on the plane that left the island went home. I don't know whether they lived normal/happy life. Hugo eventually passes the torch to Ben as the guardian of the island and Hugo dies (probably from overeating). I want to say the reason Ben does not go into the church is because he is still the guardian of the Island, but who knows.
Some one fill in more gaps for me.
When I say the entire show was supposed to be Jack's story, I don't mean it was planned. It's quite clear that at some point they decided this would be the end, although they didn't run the show that way. They pretty much started this with about 40 mins left in this episode and just let it retroactively be this way. The show was not run as Jack's story, it was only concluded that way. That's why this ending feels like it only provided closure for about 15% of the series.

I'm thinking Ben is deceased as well but he just doesn't feel worthy/deserving of a happy life as of yet in the afterlife due to all the questionable things he did while on the island.

Anyone else think that maybe they actually died when Jacob originally touched them since it was said that their lives ceased to be their own?
